I don't have any strong opinions on UvdL myself. Some things she seems to have done well, some things very badly, like the phone text messages not being made public.

Like you I'm very much a democrat and I agree fully, except that I also think that the nature of politics is that compromises will have to be made. So if you don't do what you say you will, then you will have to have something to show for it, and the voters will tell you if it was enough.

The post-truth and identity politics infuriate me to no end though.
