	Alert!: Pim Fortuyn's legacy
		Their brand of politics was unprecedented: anti-establishment, anti-political culture, their programme was a bizarre mish-mash of pro-referenda "power to the people" politics, environmental issues and "small is beautiful"-type opposition to big public projects.
		The programmes that resulted from the May 2002 elections are being adapted by the right-wing government elected in 2003 and encouraged not only by rightist neo-liberals like Geert Wilders and Ayaan Hirsi Ali from the VVD but also by the law and order-fetishists and Islam-bashers, Camiel Eurlings and Wim Camp from the Christian Democrats.
		That vacuum is still there, space being available for the emergence of politicians without a party, without ideology and with a pragmatic attitude to rule the country unhindered by party discipline or the collectivism of the traditional party system.
