    I’m not a fan and think he’s generally a poor choice. But a short stint at a company two decades ago shouldn’t be an instant disqualification… The headline feels sensationalised.

    Still incomprehensible Kaag wasn’t proposed, though. Or one of a bunch of other more suitable representatives.

      Kaag has been bullied out of politics by extremists. She rightfully wants to spare here family the continued harrassment.

      What is incomprehensible is that the government didn’t hunt down the people who threatened her and made an example out of them.
