Alternative title: Dutch PM Mark Rutte announces he’s leaving politics
This feels a bit surreal. After all of the scandals over the past few years, I hadn’t expected this to be the breaking point. I think it’ll be good for the Netherlands to get a soft reboot of politics. Most of the country was very much fed up with Rutte.
Not sure where we’ll go from here. I hope GroenLinks and PvdA together can gather lots of support. If not…
I, for one, welcome our new BBB overlords.
Can’t say I’m sad that he is done. Was not good for us Dutch people. Let’s see what happens next in Dutch politics.
Goodbye and good riddance
And even this move is as opportunistic as it gets.
Glad to see him go.
Teflon mark is just straight up quitting? Didn’t expect that one to happen.
