During a purge, one would need to scrap and rebuild many of the infected institutions (like the education system, media, the cultural life but also the trade unions and employers organizations.Originally Posted by The Lawspeaker
Revisiting this little thread:
Preferred Political System:
Constitutional monarchy under a parliamentary system with elements of direct democracy. Retain the monarchy for purely ceremonial purposes and delegate policing, healthcare, education and social welfare to local government. Introduce binding corrective referendums and increase the people's power over the judiciary by replacing the Raad van State and the Hoge Raad der Nederlanden by an elected Supreme (Constitutional) Court. Further opt for trial by jury (no jury duty, juries should be voluntary) and grant courts the power to check laws on their constitutionality (repeal art. 120).
Political and civil rights
Free speech: Somewhat supportive (excluding malicious slander, racist attacks on the native Dutch population or sedition)
Freedom of religion: Somewhat supportive (but only in the case of Christian religions with tolerance for Germanic Heathenry)
Freedom of assembly: Somewhat supportive (excluding seditious groups and any groups funded from abroad)
Corporal/capital punishment: Strongly opposed
Universal suffrage: Somewhat opposed (suffrage should only be extended to men (minimum age 25) and married women with children over the age of 25)
Compulsory voting: Somewhat opposed
Nationalism/Internationalism
Nationalism: Somewhat supportive (Don't get carried away: a silent pride will do ! Immigration will still be severely curtailed and most migrants should be repatriated but there should be no room for overtly aggressive displays of national pride. We're not a country of flag-wavers. Express your pride one brick at a time in each building you build, each canal you dig, each road you lay, each field you plow. Furthermore: disband the Kingdom of the Netherlands as a federation (retaining only the European Netherlands which will inherit the title) and grant independence to the Caribbean Netherlands while those former subjects will not retain their Dutch citizenship).
Internationalism: Somewhat opposed (I'd prefer to restrict our international commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, a "League of Western Nations", the Benelux and the European Free Trade Association) as well as Interpol and the WTO.
EU-membership (only for Europeans): Strongly opposed (They offer us no benefits but only more and more trouble. When we leave we should still retain our unilateral commitment to free inter-European roaming, the EHIC system, the Erasmus Programme, Europol and key research programs)
UN-membership: Strongly opposed (I'd prefer a League of Nations for Western nations and their key allies. Still, the Netherlands should retain the E-Road numbering system, we will also retain our unilateral commitment to most of their, non-social, organizations (such as UNESCO, ITU,UPU, ICAO and IAEA but accept their standards on our terms)
NATO-membership:Somewhat supportive ( on the condition that the NATO alliance is purely defensive and NATO returns to its 1991 borders (thus with East Germany but excluding Turkey, allowing Germany to abandon the current armaments limitations in favour of a larger army in proportion to its population size. Further additions may come in the form of Australia and New Zealand, thus creating an alliance of Western nations. Also favouring both a German and a Dutch nuclear program with the latter operating under a Samson Option.
The Military
Militancy (as in supporting military operations abroad): Neutral (Unless NATO art.5 has been invoked,, units may only be used to patrol the sea lanes and deal with lawless elements)
Compulsory military service: Somewhat supportive
Women in the armed forces: Somewhat opposed (Those who are currently serving in the military will be allowed to finish their contracts but women may only be used for civilian supporting roles and are barred from any foreign deployments. The same should apply to women' working for the police).
The Environment
Environmentalism: Somewhat supportive
Urbanization: Somewhat opposed (Cities are a necessary evil but it would be better to keep the country decentralised and give as many lands as possible to private owners so they could live off their land and their own hard work. This is also why I am not too unhappy with projected fall in population back to 13.5 Dutch but recognise that this will only benefit us, when most migrants have been deported so there will be no threat of a demographic replacement. )
Natural/unprocessed food production: Neutral (While, personally, believing in "honest food" and rejecting processed foods, it would be difficult to translate this in a good policy. However, I do believe in slashing taxes over healthy foods and instituting a moderate "sugar tax" on unhealthy products).
Animal rights: Neutral (anti-cruelty laws should remain on the books)
The Economy
Welfare state: Somewhat supportive
Taxation: Neutral (all within reason)
Economic System: Social market economy, General oversight under the Polder Model.
Public/Private/Other Ownership over industries: Key industries ought to be public. The rest would be in private hands. The national infrastructure will be publicly-owned. Royal Dutch Shell and NAM would be nationalised and manage the nation's resources and its distribution.The Railways should be nationalised (using the name Staatsbedrijf der Nederlandsche Spoorwegen under a Royal Warrant), mail and telecom/internet services would be renationalised and placed under a new PTT with a full Royal Warrant.
Public/Private/Other Ownership over banks: Key banks ought to be public, the majority private or mutualist credit unions.
National bank in public/private ownership: Public and under parliamentary control.
Healthcare (Private/Public/Other): Combination of mutual assistance funds and private. Providers are either charities or private operators. Also retain the current personal budget system where funds are granted to people by the government to buy their own care from whoever they want, as it increases the personal self-ownership of the elderly and infirm.
Education (Private/Public/Other): Dismantling of the State-run "liberal" public education system. To be handed over to the Church or parent associations. Universities are to be handed over to the Church as well as depending on whether they are in a Catholic or Protestant area. Like this: Groningen (Protestant), UvA Amsterdam (Catholic), Leiden (Protestant), Rotterdam (Protestant), Delft (Protestant), Utrecht (Protestant), Wageningen (Protestant), Nijmegen (Catholic), Tilburg (Catholic), Eindhoven (Catholic), Maastricht (Catholic).
Social Conservatism.
Political correctness: Strongly opposed
Degenerate media & entertainment: Strongly opposed (to be suppressed by the reintroduction of parts of the 1911 Public Morality Acts or Zedelijkheidswetten)
Religion: (in most cases): Strongly supportive (but only in the case of Christian religions with tolerance for Germanic Heathenry)
Pornography: Somewhat opposed (full stop ban on professional pornographers because of their abuses. private consenting individuals can do as they like but it can't be made or spread in a public place where children may have access.)
Abortion: Somewhat opposed (I am very much anti-abortion. However I do understand that there are cases in which it may be necessary and because of that, I would follow the current law but reduce the time in which it is "available on demand" for non-necessary cases to just 10 weeks and raise the mandatory number of "days of reflection" from 5 to 10 and there should be a strong social stigma on it and the numbers may be lessened by setting up a national adoption board where children that might have been aborted can be adopted by a living parent after its birth. This also in order to bring down the number of foreign adoptions.)
Prostitution: Strongly opposed (to be stamped out as part of the partial reintroduction of the 1911 Public Morality Acts.)
Homosexuality: Somewhat opposed (Age of consent at the age of 21 for homosexual liaisons as part under the reintroduction of parts of the 1911 Public Morality Acts. There should be a strong social stigma on it. The state should thus not facilitate this in any way: neither in the field of same-sex marriages, "civil unions" or adoption by such "couples").
(If voted - Same-sex marriage): -
(If voted - Civil unions for same-sex couples): -

Drugs / alcohol / tobacco: Somewhat opposed (Banning them doesn't work. Either way, we should not give the government control over what we consume. Lower taxes to a moderate level and label it a "sin tax")However: drugs may be prescribed by psychiatrists or physicians for medical uses and the costs of purchasing them (at an licensed apothecary who may procure their supplies from private, licensed suppliers on the open market with the national organization for quality control monitoring the quality).
Gun control: Somewhat opposed (only 18+ and criminals, the untrained and the insane should be refused permits. Concealed carry and "stand-your-ground" for the rest.)
Euthanasia: Somewhat opposed ( In the "current year" the development of anesthetics and the use of medicinal cannabis should be enough to ease the suffering of the terminally ill. I would believe we should, instead, improve the quality of palliative care).
Eugenics: Somewhat opposed (the education/care system should only the mentally defected not to have children and give proper sexual education that is specifically tailored to their special needs. Either way: with the majority of migrants gone, the "low IQ"- problem is, mostly fixed so there will no need for any "drastic" (a.k.a insane) measures that violate both art 11 of the Constitution and our common Christian morality).
Racial integration / miscegenation: Neutral (only direct ancestry through the paternal line should give access to the Dutch nationality)
Adding:
Divorce: Somewhat opposed (Move away from no-fault divorce but towards mediation and scrap alimony. Child support should, however, be retained in its present form but should only be paid out by the parent with the highest paying job if the children haven't been awarded to him or her. In the case of indigence or incapacitation, the State should take over. The Church may still ban divorce for its adherents if they see fit.)
The Military
Organisation: Merge the Army and Air Force into the Navy as an expanded Marine Corps and Naval Aviation Service to cut some glut. Create a new military police force that only concerns itself with the military and put the military police, the Korps Nationale Reserve and all facilitating services under a kind of Navy Support Service. Conscripts will also serve in the support services rather than direct combat formations which limits their chance of ever being dispatched to serve outside the country. Furthermore expand the Navy by doubling the amount of ships and combining the support vessels into multirole amphibious assault ships/support ships. Which will increase both the support capacity as well as their combat strength. Opt for the Gripen (as well as the Sea Gripen) rather than the F35.
The Security Services
Organisation: Demilitarize the Dutch Marechaussee and merge them into the National Police and decentralise the police services by granting the powers back to the municipalities of the cities by splitting them up into the Gemeentepolitie (Municipal Police) and the Rijkspolitie (National Police). The Rijkspolitie will concern itself with the provinces and with border control. The Dienst Speciale Interventies (the police special force) are to be militarised and moved to the Marine Corps.
Civil Defense: The government needs to return to a system of civil defense (returning to the name "Bescherming Burgerbevolking) in preparation of natural disasters or wartime calamities. This means that this country should adopt a nation-wide shelter program following the Swiss model. In case of mobilisation or natural disasters, the security services, healthcare and fire brigade must also be put at the disposal of the newly recreated civil defense service.
I would propose the following oversight committees:
The Nederlandse Cultuurkamer - based, in part, on its WWII predecessor, the Cultuurkamer will be tasked promoting traditional Dutch art and the maintenance of Dutch culture - and censoring all degenerate art. Membership, for the duration that the institution exists, will be compulsory for all actors, dancers, teachers, professors, journalists, musicians, architects, archaeologists, historians, writers, poets, painters and for those working in museums, exhibition centers - covering the entire cultural life of the nation) and will be subdivided in guilds (gilden) which will each focus on one particular area ( performing arts, sculpting, architecture, penmanship, journalism, films and acting, education, heemkunde (local history) and archaeology. It will be assisted in its task by the Nederlandse Cultuurraad (based, in part, on its own WWII predecessor which coordinates strategy and assists in stamping out degenerate art. How sad it may seem: the internet may have to be placed under control then as well.
The Nederlands Arbeidsfront - based, in part on its WWII predecessor, the Arbeidsfront will replace the existing trade unions and employer's organizations and will seek to harmonize labor relations and coordinate national policy in much the same was as the current social partners. Both organizations should be planned to exist for some 25 years, until the country has been purged enough and we can return to normal.
