By the way, did NL pass the Ukraine association agreement yet? I heard it got out of limbo but did it ratify fully yet? | ||

VVD (conservative liberal) 31 PvdA (labour) 9 Pvv (Wilders) 19 SP (Far left) 14 CDA (Christian Democrats) 19 D66 (Social Liberals) 19 CU (Christian left) 6 Greenleft (Greens) 16 SGP (Hardcore christian eformed party) 3 PvdD (Animal party) 5 50+ (Party for elderly) 4 Denk (Minority party) 3 FvD 2 (Mixed classical liberal / direct democracy party, kind of hard to place tbh) So VVD clear winners with 31 seats. PVV, CDA and D66 shared third with 19 seats. I voted for D66 myself so I am happy with that. I'd have liked it if PVV had a little less seats but they didn't win at least. There's plenty of anti establishment pressure LegalLord. The difference is that it's very spread out in our system. It's spread between PVV, SP, PvdD, 50+, Denk and FvD. | ||

So if the results end up exactly like that, what's the likeliest coalition? | ||

Still, their seat count collectively appears significantly lower than what I would expect if the same elections happened in the US, UK, or France. All of Europe has strong anti-establishment trends but I wouldn't say NL has it especially bad. | ||

Yes the other parties are left. We've had anti establishment since thr start of the 2000s so I guess we're used to it. It has had influence on our politics though since parties like CDA and Labour got a lot tougher on immigration this election. It's one of the big reasons I decided to vote for D66 instead of VVD. They're one of the parties not so anti immigrant as the rest. | ||

I've just checked and both coalitions (vvd+cda+d66 + either gl or cu) have a majority in the senate. | ||
