It seems Trump's circus has done European mainstream parties and the EU itself a favour.


European leaders have welcomed the result of the Netherlands election, which saw the anti-immigration party of Geert Wilders fail to become the largest in parliament.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte's centre-right VVD won by some margin.

The Netherlands was seen by many as a bellwether for how populist parties will perform in those polls.

Interesting Poll results, a 10 point lead to Labor and voters are thinking the Govt is more inclined than they were last June to characterise the government as being “too close to the big corporate and financial interests”, “out of touch with ordinary people” and “will promise to do anything to win votes”.

Finance minister Matthias Cormann says he engaged in ‘very direct’ conversation with Abbott about working as a team
Mathias Cormann has again urged Tony Abbott to pull his head in, arguing his regular public interventions will help Bill Shorten become the next prime minister.
The finance minister confirmed he engaged in a “very direct” conversation with Abbott about the desirability of working as a team, and he observed that the former prime minister’s “somewhat destructive” interventions made it hard for members of the government to defend his policy legacy.

Great to see Le Pen make it through to the 2nd round of voting in France. Whatever happens from now on the FN is a force in French Politics going forward.
