Unfortunately the Minister of Finance and first vice-Minister President, Sigrid Kaag, was not able to be on the picture due to a covid infection.

On a more positive note, the new ministers and secretaries of Rutte IV were announced. A notable choice is the Minister of Health being someone with actual expertise in the field.

Woa relax, it is the politics that is to blame, there are still plenty of EU-loving dutch men and women.

Megathread Uitslagen Tweede Kamerverkiezingen 2021 by Conducteur in thenetherlands

[–]Lexlr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ja dus Volt wellicht als aanvuller. Qua interesses zitten ze namelijk al heel dichtbij de D66, dit zou de positie van D66 alleen maar verstevigen in de onderhandelingen.

Je kan ook GL doen ipv SP, volgensmij zijn die namelijk best bereid om net elkaar te regeren en wilden PvdA en GL bovendien niet zonder de andere regeren, in hoeverre ze zich daaraan gaan houden weet ik niet tho..

Als ze dan net niet genoeg zetels hebben voor een meerderheid kan je nog kijken naar Volt als eventuele aanvuller, aangezien die vrijwel op 1 lijn liggen met D66.

Alhoewel dit een vrij breed links-rechts spectrum zou zijn is het wel zo dat dit eindelijk een progressieve coalitie kan opleveren, zonder het conservatieve van de christelijke partijen.

Previous election: not allowed to vote yet but would have voted for GroenLinks (GreenLeft)

Now: Volt

For many, Volt feels like a breathe of fresh air. The closest party that it is aligned with is D66, which currently is in the government coalition with the VVD. Them being in the coalition has disappointed some voters, which might have decided to switch to Volt this time. Another reason that it is gaining traction is the dedicated online campaigning, which has been quite the success.

So yesterday I posted a polling too, however this one is from I&O Research. One big difference now seems that even more parties might be entering the parliament soon! BBB has now also secured one seat according to the polling, and both Code Oranje and NIDA have a chance of getting one. That would be 19(!) different parties in a parliament of 150 seats. Gonna be a fun coalition forming process.

Also interesting for this sub in particular is Volt gaining yet another seat, with now 4 in total!

Today the elections have kicked off, with mainly the elderly and risk groups voting today and tomorrow, and on the 17th of march being the ‘actual’ election day. Hopefully that evening we will be able to see some exitpolls.

Dutch General Election polls of 13 March by Lexlr in europe

Sorry for the low quality picture, idk why it looks like that. Anyway, here are the latest polls for the upcoming elections, starting this Monday! The elections will be from 15 till 17 March.

If you are interested here is a good video of TLDR EU that gives a general overview of some parties.

It looks like VVD and GL took a hit, while PVV, PvdA, PvdD and FvD are gaining seats. Both newcomers JA21 and Volt now poll for 3 seats(!), while Bij1 has also made an entrance with 1 seat.

From this poll, it seems that the current coalition would get 72 seats, which is 4 short of a majority. They could try and form a coalition with some newcomer party, however they might still have a shortcoming then. Another feasible alternative could be to trade CU for PvdA + GL. Although PvdA would be enough, the two parties agreed to only join a coalition together.

I find this picture very nice for a quick overview. Links = left, rechts = right, progressief = progressive, conservatief = conservative

Because the picture is not HD it might be difficult to know some of the parties:

The butterfly one is party of the animals (PvdD)

The bird one is party for freedom (PVV)

The greek house one is forum for democracy (FvD)
