What's even stranger is that nobody has voted for Willem van Oranje yet. He is considered pater patriae in the Netherlands

I'm glad nobody voted Pim or Anne or Johan so far. People here seem to be smarter than the average Dutchman.

I would have to say Anthonie van Leeuwenhoek.  Without his invention, science, medicine, and the world's standard of living would be much less than what it is today.

Miscalculation!

The telephone votes took some time to be registered, and now it appears Willem van Oranje has got more votes than Pim. But the KRO (the broadcasting organization who broadcasted it) decided not to change the final result.

My vote goes to Van Leeuwenhoek (I am Dutch so i can know ). He was the one who invented the microscope and discovered the bacteria. He also discovered sperm cells . I think that Dutch people are quite stupid because they voted on Pim Fortuijn (he got less votes then Willem van Oranje but he still is second). He is of no importance to our history and caused nothing but hatred and murder (without him, Theo van Gogh would probably not have been murdered). I also think taht Rembrandt is very important, and Michiel de Ruyter too (he made some cool provocative actions in the Thames near London, by sailing through chains over the river). Anne Frank and Johan Cruijff should be removed from the list.

where is VAN BASTEN?he impressed people more  than Johan,i believe..

Among these,i would vote Erasmus...but it would be good to see if ''spinoza'' were on the list as well.

Hmm.... who's that fellow who invented the Amsterdam coffee shops? He'd get my vote every day of the week (and twice on Sundays)

 

P.S. I voted for Van Ghogh
