They change but not by that much. The percentage of Americans who support abortion rights hasn't changed much for decades, nor has the percentage of Dutch people who support the SGP.

The percentage of American voters and lawmakers who were against Roe v. Wade has always been a lot larger than the percentage of Dutch voters and lawmakers who are sympathetic to the aims of the SGP.

Luckily they're not going to be able to come close to achieving their aims.

They aren't very big, but they are a lot bigger than most people would imagine given the Netherland's reputation for social liberalism.

In the Dutch Bible Belt there are areas where up to 35% of voters vote for the Reformed Political Party (Staatkundig Gereformeerde Partij or SGP). The party was officially oppossed to women's sufferage until the late 1980s. The didn't allow women to be members until they were forced to in the mid 2000s, and they only changed because of the threat of a loss in public funding. The female members that did join were only allowed to stand for office because of another threat of loosing public funding in the 2010s.

Only the first of the two German Monty Python specials was filmed in German. They found it very difficult so when they did the second one they just recorded it in English and let other people dub their lines into German afterwards.

£1.29 per person means over £86,000,000 per year. It's not the biggest waste of public money, but it's still over 86 million going to one random family with no benefit to the rest of us.

The tourists that come to see Buckingham Palace won't stop coming just because the family that lives there moves out. They generate literally nothing to the economy.

Six of those 15 albums have gone to number 1 though. Most recently in 2016.

In 2004 it was thought that the last widow of a US Civil War veteran had died, then they found another one. When she died in 2008, it was thought that she was the last one. Then they found yet another one and she died in 2020. It's not impossible that there are still living widows who haven't been publicly identified.

The marriage took place in 1936. The last known veteran didn't die until 20 years later. In many states it was (and still is) legal for 13 year old girls to marry as long as they have parental permission.
