Yes, the party and most of its ideas are stupid. If someone wants to promote sexual reform, creating a political party such as this is one of the most stupid things you could do and will only work against you.
However, what pisses me off is how people react to it. Sure, these people have ideas that we consider to be sick, but they're IDEAS. If this party gets forbidden, what will that mean for politics? So in the future you can't start a political party if you admit to being a pedophile, even if you don't act on it? Will we not be able to discuss the age of consent or other such matters anymore as it will be branded "promoting pedophilia"? Will it be forbidden to discuss items that are currently not legal?
And if pedophilia is a sick thing that only a very small part of people engage in, why are they worried about them starting a political party at all? I am 99% certain they won't even be able to acquire the 570 signees needed to even START the party, let alone get enough votes to earn a seat. More importantly, if they DID, that means that pedophilia is not a minority item and a relatively large group of people are being "oppressed" (I'm using this term loosely, it's obvious this party is of course only working in their own interest) just because a majority considers it to be "sick".
I personally think there is nothing wrong with the current laws of age of consent (16) and such things (at least in Holland it is not enforced in such a horrible way as in the USA that a 17yo who has sex with a 15yo gets jailtime, there is some unwritten leeway) but to think that even DISCUSSING it should become illegal is the most retarded thing I've heard in a long time.
Apparantly people in Holland don't believe in freedom of speech. Freedom of speech means you accept people to express ALL of theoir opinions, even if you think they may be deplorable.
