Oh I'd never call myself a conservative, and most conservative parties here are right-wing as well.

Edit: I should probably start by saying that this is somewhat off-topic.

In the Netherlands we tend to rank our parties along left-right and progressive-conservative axes separately. Conservative-left gets you Christians who care about the poor. In other countries there's also the "I want the government to support our workers", "I want to go back to Soviet times" and "I'm leftist but LGBTQ is wrong" types.

Honestly no, never, and that feels more like a problem of not having proper cycling paths. Nobody wants to cycle on the sidewalk.

At least here in the Netherlands, there was a lot of commotion because a data centre tried to buy a windmill park meant to power households as their dedicated power source

Maybe they're Dutch, there it's only done for words that end in a vowel. Probably not though.

In Dutch we only talk about turning screws clockwise and counterclockwise

He has a bunch of English ones on his website as well. Some of them are just the dumbest, least translatable puns though (in a good way).

For this one the joke even only works in Flemish (not Dutch).

Sometimes you just have to feed the canal, you know?

Oof I had no idea. Hopefully the admin will come back soon.

You can also replace 'werk' with any other verb of your choice
