A string of scandals within the Dutch far-right Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders has rocked the stability of the Netherlands' new minority government. The right-leaning minority coalition was formed last month after parliamentary elections in June in which the PVV increased its representation from nine to 24 members, making it the third largest party in the country.

James Sharpe, one of the PVV's legislators, resigned on Thursday because of a row surrounding his criminal convictions, making him the seventh PPV member of parliament whose history has come under scrutiny from the Dutch media.

Sharpe resigned after the media reported that his Hungary-based internet dating company had been fined for misleading customers. The website of Sharpe's company had tried to lure its users by featuring pictures of models that were not available for dating. Sharpe, who was promptly replaced in parliament, denied any wrongdoing but "the evidence is all over the internet," the Dutch newspaper nrc.next reported.

Several incidents

The incident was the latest in a wide range of scandals involving PVV politicians.

No cure for right-wing stupidity and ignorance, I guess.

3. Wilders is an Islamophobic THUG --
