	Lijst Pim Fortuyn
		Pim Fortuyn began organising the party on February 11, 2002, the day after he had been sacked as lijsttrekker (head of the list of candidates) by the Leefbaar Nederland party.
		Fortuyn was accused of being a far-right racist, an accusation he vehemently denied.

	Guardian Unlimited \| World dispatch \| The end of List Pim Fortuyn
		Fortuyn, the shaven-headed homosexual opponent of Islam and immigration who defied simple classification, would be furious.
		The implosion of the LPF should not, however, be seen as a sign that far-right anti-immigration parties are on the wane.
		Fortuyn was always a peculiarly Dutch phenomenon; his policies a strange mix of libertarianism and liberalism.

	Rod Dreher on Pim Fortuyn on National Review Online
		Fortuyn's legion of enemies denounced him as a fascist and a racist, partly for his tough-on-crime policies, but mostly for his belief that immigration should stop, and that immigrants —; particularly Muslims, whose views on women and gays he considered barbaric — should be pressed harder to assimilate into Dutch life.
		Fortuyn, who frequented gay bars in his hometown of Rotterdam, was an unapologetic libertine who stood firmly behind Dutch beliefs in a liberal, tolerant society, but he maintained that Muslims and other immigrants who refused to accommodate themselves to Dutch values were a threat to liberty.
		Fortuyn may or may not be a martyr in the war against fundamentalist Islam, but he is almost certainly a martyr in the war on political correctness.

	Peaktalk - Fortuyn Archives
		Fortuyn was furious and it encouraged him to abandon the publicly funded academic world, literally by striking out as a self employed consultant in Rotterdam, the nation’s most culturally diverse city.
		Pim had very little time for government interference and passionately believed in personal freedoms, but one of the basic duties of government was, as he mentioned in a radio interview a few minutes before he was shot, was to provide safety for its citizens.
		Fortuyn was not always the diplomat, but he was very often, if not always, right, he did not hate, he was open and looked for a “tough debate”; yet, what he got in return was hate, invective and disrespectful undeserved slander.

	Peaktalk - FORTUYN'S CASE
		Fortuyn had dealt with these issues first hand in the various roles he had before becoming a full-time politician, ranging from senior faculty member to consultant to CEO of a privatized government agency.
		In a way, Fortuyn was ahead of his time, he believed in a “contract society” that was governed by contracts rather than employment agreements and he believed in the ability of each of us to freely compete in a marketplace governed by these independent contracts rather than centralized top-down agreements.
		Fortuyn had grown up during the 60s and 70s and was very much aware of the importance of those years for the liberation of women, gays and sexuality in general.

		Fortuyn, 54, was a gay academic and former Marxist who, despite only having been running for parliament for about eight months prior to his assassination, had already won a third of the votes in his hometown, Rotterdam's, local elections, earlier this year.
		Memorials to Fortuyn sprang up in spots loaded with significance: the street in front of his stately home in Rotterdam was filled with flowers and farewell notes as was the entrance to the broadcasting centre in Hilversum, outside Holland's capital Amsterdam, where Fortuyn was shot as he was leaving a radio studio.
		Fortuyn's speedy rise and the emotional reactions to his assassination have convinced most Dutch politicians that they have fallen dangerously out of touch with their peoples' true concerns.

		Fortuyn, a well-to-do 54-year-old sociology professor, was gunned down in broad daylight on Monday in a car park where he was about to step into a limousine after appearing on a radio show.
		Fortuyn's death leaves the party in a mad scramble to appoint a new leader, who could be his deputy Joao Varela, a fl 27-year-old African immigrant and successful Rotterdam businessman, but with little experience in politics.
		Fortuyn had no 24-hour bodyguard -- he was unprotected when the gunman fired on him on Monday as he left a radio station after giving an interview -- but he made use of private security guards at his home and at some public events, colleagues said.

	Pim Fortuyn
		Pim Fortuyn has been haunting Dutch politics ever since he was murdered, on May 6th last year.
		Instead of condemning immigration per se, Fortuyn in particular sought to warn against the threat intolerant islamist groups of immigrants pose to the principles of European civil society.
		However, Fortuyn was right to draw attention to the issue of the integration of immigrants already living in the Netherlands.
