A DUTCH TV quiz program shows how the Left and Right could finally agree about asylum seekers, if we're arguing about asylum seekers themselves.
The one-off show, aired by Dutch public broadcaster VPRO, is Weg van Nederland and the title gives the clue.
It means "Away from the Netherlands" - as in giving asylum seekers the boot, which horrifies the Left. But it also means "Mad about the Netherlands" - which means asylum seekers should love the land they're joining, which would charm the Right.
The contestants are asylum seekers who are being deported as the Netherlands tightens its slack immigration laws, and also scraps the multicultural policies that were turning the country into a nation of tribes.
So last month's pilot show starred an aeronautical engineer being deported to Cameroon, a Slavic languages student being sent home to Chechnya and other equally attractive potential citizens.
