Tourette’s syndrome is when you inadvertently say what you are secretly thinking. Just before the summer recess, the new Dutch government took office. Thierry Baudet asked the new prime minister, “Deep State” Dick Schoof, what he thought of the deliberate engineering of demographic change through immigration – what is known as “replacement migration” at the UN, or, more polemically, as “The Great Replacement”.
Thierry did not use any of these terms in his question and yet the PM responded by saying that he did not believe in “conspiracy theories”. Thierry had, of course, not used that term either: he insisted instead that demographic change was no conspiracy but instead an openly admitted ideology. They went back and forth until Schoof let out another astonishing slip: he said he did not believe that the world was governed by an elite, something Thierry had also not mentioned. Instead, the PM said, society “governs itself”.
Well, if that is the case, what is the purpose of holding the government to account? What is the point of elections? What is the point of parliament?
