Update: Foley to Move to Amsterdam, Run for Parliament

News out of the Netherlands this week is bearing an odd parallel to DC’s most talked about scandal involving a now-former Congressman from a certain peninsular state. In what must be a not entirely unexpected setback, a political party founded earlier this year by Dutch pedophiles looks as though it has insufficient support to compete for seats in the parliamentary general election next month. Children’s rights groups sued to have the party banned outright, but a Dutch court ruled that the nation’s freedom of expression guarantees extended even to the euphamistically-named “Brotherly Love, Freedom and Diversity party (PNVD).” Maybe this two-party system isn’t such a bad thing after all.
