		Pim Fortuyn was chairman of the Politieke Vereniging Lijst Pim Fortuyn (the party) and political leader.
		Fortuyn was outspoken and wrote columns and books in which he strongly criticized the current government, but he didn't provide anything like a coherent and comprehensive vision on changes that should be made to address the problems that he saw.
		Fortuyn: his own books and his media appearances, where he pretty much told all about his sexuality, his feelings of loneliness and being destined for something special, his relationship with his parents, etc. In a number of recent TV appearances he discussed his feelings about death and dying.

	NRC Handelsblad - Den Haag: Dutch elections bizarre and unpredictable after Fortuyn's death (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Pim Fortuyn, leader of a new political party, was murdered on 6 May. Mr Fortuyn, the bane of the political establishment, succeeded in reaching a large group of voters with his populist rhetoric.
		Mr Fortuyn gave the dissatisfaction among voters in the Netherlands a voice, after eight years of what is known as the 'purple' coalition government of socialists, liberal conservatives and democrats.
		However, the death of Pim Fortuyn has placed the general election in a different perspective in which the consequences are incalculable.

	The nationalism of Pim Fortuyn
		Pim Fortuyn's party fragmented in the two years after his assassination, but he was voted 'Greatest Netherlander of All Time' in November 2004.
		Pim Fortuyn was an exponent of this selfish nationalism: although the Netherlands has the money and the expertise to construct flood defences for poorer countries, he found that wrong: "They can reinforce their own dikes in Egypt and Bangladesh.
		This cultivation of a hate climate indicates that 'demonisation' of the Lijst Pim Fortuyn was not inappropriate.

		Although Fortuyn was part of a new wave of Dutch politicians and often perceived as an extremist, he insisted he was not like Jean-Marie Le Pen and wanted nothing to do with the French far-right leader.
		He was at pains to point out that he was not against immigrants, but he questioned their ability to assimilate into a liberal and racially tolerant culture and argued immigration had to be curbed in order for the Netherlands' liberal social values to survive.
		Fortuyn's platform seemed out of place in the ultra-liberal Netherlands, which he argued was full up with 16 million people.

		I wrote to the Lijst Pim Fortuyn about whether any of his books are published in English they said no and that there is no chance of any of them being published in English in the near future.
		Maybe it's time for the Pim Fortuyn foundation and other supporters consider translating some of Pim's writings and let the public be the judge of what he stood for, and dismantle the myth that he was an anti-immigrant and dangerous extreme right-wing politician.

	The GULLY \| Mourning Pim Fortuyn
		The hearse carrying the coffin of Pim Fortuyn drives slowly through the crowd on its way to the town of Driehuis Westerveld for the funeral, May 10, 2002.
		It is rejection, humiliation, and varying heights of glass ceilings that sometimes push the children of immigrants to embrace the aspects of their cultures of origin that are not compatible with the democratic values of their Western hosts, sometimes becoming more "Muslim" than their parents, rejecting society before it rejects them.
		Fortuyn may not have had the solution, but he was right to identify this as a simmering problem in densely populated Holland, where between one in eight and one in ten is an immigrant.

	A World Without Fortuyn By June Thomas
		The assassination of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn on Monday evening represents a "loss of innocence" for the Netherlands, according to the left-leaning daily Volkskrant.
		Fortuyn was gunned down nine days before the Netherlands' May 15 general election, in which his party was expected to poll between 15 percent and 30 percent.
		It was predicted that he might be the leader of the opposition (some papers suggested there was a chance Fortuyn would become prime minister, but given his unwillingness to form a coalition with parties that did not favor an freeze on immigration, this seems unlikely).

	No Cameras
		The LPF rocketed to power last May, coming out of nowhere to gain 26 seats in parliament; but it soon proved that without its founder, the late Pim Fortuyn, it was directionless.
		In the January elections, the LPF deservedly plummeted to 8 seats, less than a third of its previous 26; not quite as bad as the drop to 4 which the opinion polls were predicting, but pretty damaging nonetheless.
		He's already dictating terms which would have to be met for the LPF to get on board, with a cocky attitude which is (to put it euphemistically) misplaced for someone who's been damn near annihilated in the polls.

		Fortuyn, who had once been a Marxist, was one of the latest in a series of right-wing politicians who have shocked the left-leaning political elite of Europe – though Fortuyn was also known for not wanting to be lumped into the crowd of right-wing European populists.
		Fortuyn had moved Liveable Netherlands to the right on a campaign of criticizing the government for uncontrolled immigration polices and excessive bureaucracy.
		LPF spokesman Mat Herben said after the shooting: "The government now has to stay calm and the democratic process must move forward." The LPF is searching for a new leader out of a relatively unknown crop of members of whom Fortuyn was the only nationally known name.

		Fortuyn was a flamboyant, telegenic media figure, who rode around the streets of Rotterdam in a chauffeured Daimler limo, his shaved head and cobalt blue eyes irresistible to photographers and TV cameras.
		The killing of the ill-named Pim Fortuyn may have been what the Italians call a regolamento di conti–a settling of accounts–and there will almost surely be more casualties from the birth pains of the new Super Europe.
