(NL Times) Many PVV voters don’t support the far-right party’s more radical views — “pushing back Islam” and the Netherlands leaving the European Union. They expect their party will have to water down its standpoints in order to govern, and most are okay with that, according to a Hart van Nederland survey of 1,000 PVV voters in its opinion panel.
Only 22 percent of PVV voters say they want to ban the Koran, and 32 percent want to close mosques. Only 36 percent are in favor of a Nexit, and 43 percent support expelling Turkey from NATO.
There are some controversial standpoints that PVV voters still support en masse. For example, 87 percent of PVV voters want to close the Dutch borders to asylum seekers, even though that is against international treaties.
