Yeah, but coupled with the fact that parties like UKIP, The Finns Party and the PVV are popular political parties and not accepting those who are well within the 'political bubble', you do get some people standing for election who say stupid things and are moronic enough to share it under their own name. Before social networking sites like Facebook, a lot of these councillors and their ravings probably wouldn't have seen the light of day.

This is often true in my experience.
