    While some right wing parties are against increased spending I don’t think that will stop it. If I look at The Netherlands virtually every party is in favor of increased spending of some sort. Even PVV. And in countries where the far right is against, there is always the option of excluding them from governments.

    More important is that the EU itself is heavily in favor of increased spending and ultimately they decide what their members states can and cannot do. So even if you as a member state go against the EU policy, you will face their consequences.

    For The Netherlands I don’t have much hope. Even the left wing parties are in favor of increased spendings. Unions don’t really seems to make a fuss. For Belgium I have some more hope. Our party is heavily against and at least we have a good sized following. Unions are very vocally against it too. On Tuesday we had 140k people marching in Brussels against austerity and increased defense spending.
