The party has literally imploded! All the key politicians have stepped down, others have said they would step down if Baudet remains active.

I wish some Republicans made the same statement to Trump....

Damn, this is turning out into the best political soap operas ever, globally.
Here's a Google translation of the latest article

Basically Baudet has been told to leave, but they can't expel him. And he refuses to leave, because he is the founder. So now everybody else is leaving the Forum For Democracy party, in the Senate (First Chamber), in many of the provincial governments and possibly also in European government.

Yesterday Baudet was the guest in the daily morning news tv program. On the phone was one of his former loyals and ex-girlfriend too. She said she wanted him out, he was nearly crying live on national TV. Here's the YouTube clip
(Language is Dutch of course but see his reaction at 1:20)

Yes this is too off topic, but there are similarities. Imagine if Trump is told to leave the Republican party at some point and he refuses...
