The farmers’ party was only set up in 2019 and won almost 20 per cent of the vote. “This is really a great success, we should not minimise it, but we should also keep in mind … the Dutch farmers are a kind of their own,” Mr Schoellhammer told Sky News Australia. “They are the Silicon Valley of agriculture, they are not like 19th-century yeoman farmers – they are very modern, industrialised, in many ways the best capitalism can offer.”
