| | Oi Hitchock 
Maybe you should put "The" Netherlands? It may read easier that way. The rest seems fine to me, but I don't speak Dutch, so I've polled

NegoNombre de messages: 66 | It looks OK if the word 'phrase' is used to describe the proposition of a poll. "The Netherlands", and 'should' is closer to the proper meaning of [moet] then 'must', although the latter is the literal translation. |

| | Hi Nego Martijn , Hitchcock
I think it most likely is to do with a poll, as you suggest Nego , seeing the category.
Hitchcock, can you edit as per suggestions please

JWNombre de messages: 6 | "The Netherlands should be happy with Beatrix as their queen.", as Nego suggested, seems to be the best translation to me. "must", or "has to" as Ida-alida suggests, sounds much stronger than "should", and I think the Dutch is closer to the latter one. |

| | I like JW's choice. The intention, as far as I can tell, is to find out how pleased the Dutch are with their queen.

NegoNombre de messages: 66 | Good point. Under normal circumstances, I would always have chosen for 'should', because a sentence like this is is usually preceded by an argument in favour of her (to persuade people who criticise her). But given the fact that it's an agree/disagree statement, 'must' might be better. It comes down to what english native speakers would choose I think. |
