Talk:Freedom Party

I was just reading an article on this Geert Wilders--the anti-Islamic Dutch MP who was invited by a British MP to address the latter Parliament but was told that he would be arrested if he tried to enter Britain. He's put the British on notice that he's coming anyway and is defying them to arrest a member of an allied government for purely ideological reasons.

Anyway, I mention it because the article says that the party to which he belongs is none other than--you guessed it--the Freedom Party. (Dutch "Partij voor de Vrijheid," which might be more literally translated "Party of Freedom," but is more commonly called the Freedom Party.)

No doubt many see similarities between the two Freedom Parties. Me, I can't help but see a few similarities between Featherston's government and a real-life one that would refuse to admit, then arrest, a democratically-elected legislator from an allied government because of the "incorrect" content of his opinions.
