A Dutch court refused Monday to ban a political party whose main goal is to lower the age of sexual consent from 16 to 12. The judge said it was the voters’ right to judge the appeal of political parties.
The party has only three known members, one of whom was convicted of molesting an 11-year-old boy in 1987. Widely dubbed the “pedophile” party, it is unlikely ever to win a seat in parliament. The group would need around 60,000 votes, and pollsters estimate it would get fewer than 1,000.
In cultures where sex is endorsed as something other than the unitive and procreative force that it is intended to be, the variety and depravity of sexual agendas will continue. This new political party exists only to satisfy their style of sexual gratification. Expect to see more of the same.
