Wat heerlijk dat @groene.nl dit soort interviews doet. Patrick van Schie, directeur van het wetenschappelijk Instituut van de VVD vindt de vraag of klimaatverandering door mensen wordt veroorzaakt "een politieke discussie" en kan zich geen geweldpleging en herinneren bij de boerenprotesten.
Patrick van Schie noemt zichzelf een klassiek liberaal. Hij wil een kleine overheid en maakt zich zorgen over de vrijheid van meningsuiting. Het gevaar komt volgens hem vooral van links. ‘Ik ga liever met de PVV in een kabinet dan met GroenLinks-PvdA.’

Really like this idea, although I think the UX could be improved. If live in one of a small set of European capital cities: select a trip duration, pick some destinations on the map and let it plan an airtravel-free itinary.
