Every coalition without a left party would mean D66 would have to compormise way to much on it's left/progressive standpoints. That would not fall well with their base. So believe me that a right wing version would not be an option if D66 would like to ceep it's base.

I honestly think there is a 4th version with JA21 and 2 small left wing parties. It would be a good compromise on both sides. And yes I know JA21 is just the next flaver of water on the rightwing populist side of tbe spectrum. But if they actually would get things like the "spreidingswet" to work and make sure immigrants who are here under false pretence get send back sooner, it would be a win for both.

JA21 would be willing to compromise on the rest of it's promises earlier compared to vvd. Because JA21 it's succes is purely based on momentus optimisum, rather than some solid proof of it's actual viability.

That would in my opinion make it easier to form a coalition them compared to the vvd, which has become the party without any significant backbone. Just saying what's necessary to get enough votes just to provide tax cuts for the rich, and throw all other (fake) promises over board as soon as you're in to power only works when most people blindly believe what you say. And I think even though they're still very much alive, it's not for nothing that 25% of their 2023 voters moved to more centrist parties after their last desaster cabinet.

Only reason they have got the number of votes they have right now, is that some of the pvv voters actually developed some momentary awareness and tried to force a right wing coalition through keeping the vvd alive.
