AMSTERDAM - On social media is increasingly talked about a referendum in the Netherlands on leaving the European Union.
The term "nexit", after the British voted for a brexit, increasingly used. This is evident from an analysis of social media monitor Buzzcapture.
On the day of the British referendum was to include Twitter and Facebook talked about 1,500 times over a nexit. That was Friday morning at 10.30 already 5000 times.
Also spoken in foreign media about the possibility that Dutch will insist on its own referendum. The British version of Metro reported a possible nexit with a picture of PVV leader Geert Wilders it.
Wilders' name, which also says a referendum if he would become prime minister next year after the election, is also called online remarkably often in combination nexit with the term. Friday used about one in seven people who have a nexit also had the name of the PVV leader.
It is difficult to make a reliable picture of the responses whether more support for a nexit. However, a tweet from EenVandaag which a majority of 54 percent would turn out for a referendum often retweeted. This also applies to a Facebook post of Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who said earlier that the Dutch do not want a referendum.
