European Union > Poll: One Third of Dutch Want to Emigrate

From Expatica:

AMSTERDAM — A survey has indicated that 32 percent of Dutch people want to emigrate abroad and that just 51 percent are proud of the Netherlands.

The survey by Amsterdam-based research bureau Signicom also found that 33 percent of Dutch nationals think that China will have greater power than the US and Europe combined in 10 years time.

The sample size was only 443 people, so I don't know how significant this is, but it's not a good sign for the Netherlands. Netherlands - with ultra-liberal laws on drugs, prostitution and euthenasia - has been an icon to American liberals, but their system appears more and more to be unsustainable. Like Mark Steyn said, "What's the point of creating a secular utopia if it's only for one generation?"
