A lot of people have contacted me today regarding an error with their voting cards for today’s general elections here in the Netherlands. I wish to apologize deeply for this mistake and have made the correction to the voting list here:
Thank you for your continued support.

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

Are you letting those of us who live here but don’t have citizenship vote? I would absolutely vow my allegiance to you oh great King Stu!
Alsion – Of course :D It would be very hypocritical for a English king of Holland to tell non-Dutch people they can vote. You are more then welcome to vote for me :)
I think it is “Stembiljet voor de verkiezing 2012”, not voot (;
Luuk – Oops. Thanks for spotting that. You can be the minister for spell correction in my new government.
Dude, if I were in Holland, I’d totally vote for you. (How about citizens living in other EU countries???)
(On a further note: I *really* needed to smile today. Thanks for this post.)
Barb – Friends of the king get the special rule that they can vote even if they are in other countries.
Thanks for making my vote possible.

Iooryz – You are very welcome. Thank you for pointing out that you had not received the correct voting card yet.
So now it’s up to het torentje? A fitting location for a king, I think. Or are you moving the government to Amsterdam?
All hail! In the winter!
You tataly have my vote.
opps sorry, typo I meant totaly
Sadly, I am still considered an alien here, and as voting is not a privilege accorded to creatures from outer space (or other continents, which according to the aliens police is same thing), I could not have voted for you even if these wonderful voting slips had been available – but I would have. Definitely!
VallyP – Don’t know about E.T. not being able to vote. Those who voted for Geert Wilders feel pretty alien to me. Fortunately there weren’t that many any more. I’d choose King Stu over that dreadful creature any day! ;-)
Likeahike – Na, I’m going to continue to rule the country from my apartment here in Rotterdam.
Suus – Thank you
Dragon Lady – I’d be worried if I didn’t :p
VallyP- It’sok. I just changed the rules. You are allowed to vote :)
