In a truly disgusting development, Dutch pedophiles have banded together to form a political party calling for a cut in the “age of consent” from 16 to 12, and the legalization of child pornography and bestiality.

The Charity, Freedom and Diversity party said on its website it would be officially registered Wednesday, proclaiming: “We are going to shake The Hague (Holland’s parliament) awake!”

“A ban just makes children curious,” Ad van den Berg, one of the party’s founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper.

“We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion,” he said, adding that the subject had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighboring Belgium.

The Netherlands, which has very liberal laws regarding sex and drugs, was shocked by the plan—a poll indicated that 82% wanted the government to do something to stop the new party.
