I think that if AMS spent more effort on pushing brooms, then no agenda would need to be pushed.
That said, there is nothing ill informed or "right wing" about the fact that this city is filthy. I asked for a reason for the negligence; having been given none, I simply postulated a possibility. Am I incorrect? Then by all means prove me wrong.
No "predictable ill informed right wing agenda"; simply a statement that the city should spend more of its money and effort on cleaning itself up. Sanitation, cleanliness, hygiene and other health related issues know no political bounds. (A true "right wing" agenda would call for the taxpayers money to be returned to the taxpayers).
Original point: Amsterdam is filthy filthy filthy. (It grew an extra filthy overnight). Amsterdam should clean itself up.
