Do you remember Boer Koekoek van de Boeren Partij?
(BK) "Ik ber er teugen."
(reporter) "Waarom?"
(BK) "Omdat ik er teugen ben."

Translation: A politician stated he was against something, and a
reporter asked him why. The answer was: "because I am against it.."

Yes, I remember Boer Koekoek (Farmer Cuckoo).
He lived in Bennekom, all of 3 miles from where I lived at the time. He
was the prototype of candidate for the protest voter. Garnered FARRR too
many votes, but luckily only once or twice. This was a big thing in
Holland, because of the large number of parties represented in the lower
chamber of parliament, and the necessity for coalition negotiations. His
impact was far greater than it should have been. As protest candidates
always have an impact out of proportion to their "contribution".
