    A lot’s going to change in the Netherlands, many well known politicians are leaving their jobs at the same time.

        Absolutely. Omtzigt re-entering politics is interesting as well. And VVD’s Yeşilgöz-Zegerius said she wouldn’t necessarily exclude PVV in a coalition. With the size of PVV, a fully right-wing government seems a possibility as well.

          I’d love to see the PvdA and Groen Links government but based on the behaviour of Dutch voters in the last effective elections I think a right wing coalition is much more likely to win

            Imagine a VVD-PVV-JA21 coalition. Total nightmare. I wish VVD would still be committed to excluding PVV so we could have the lesser of two evils.

              In that sense I’ve always preferred Rutte in the VVD. He had many flaws but at least he always made sure the PVV never entered the coalition
