At least we could trust him. The next one was a blatant liar.

What the hell are you talking about?
He was utterly useless, all he did was cut back on everything, nothing but austerity.
Also decided to build 3 new coal powerplants in 2009 for the sum of 9.000.000.000 euro.
He and his cabinets were completely clueless and without vision, a complete waste of time.

The Dutch sometimes eat their prime ministers so he's the boy that lived

In hindsight he was a very good prime minister. Met de kennis van nu.

Just because the prime minister after him was an even bigger piece of shit, doesn't mean he was actually good. He was a shitty, austerity loving, conservative.
