Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Geert Wilders is a hard-right icon and has been at the center of coalition negotiations since his election victory in November. This implies that he is a respected figure and his opinions should be taken seriously, even though they are not based on evidence or facts. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Mr. Wilders' move as an effort to increase the chances of forming a right-wing coalition in which his party will play a role. This implies that there is something inherently wrong with having a right-wing government and that it should be avoided at all costs, even though many people voted for such parties in the elections. The author also uses dichotomous depiction by describing Mr. Wilders as an anathema to mainstream politicians and stating that he has been negotiating for a way to form a government with populist pro-farmer party and New Social Contract, implying that these parties are not mainstream or respectable.
