  • Rutte’s centre right party took a major hit last election, the left parties had their own struggles, and the racist “freedom party” almost doubled in size (growing even bigger than Rutte’s party the term before)…

    With a coalition government it isn’t quite the all-or-nothing situation here like in the US and UK, but it’s still sad to see.

    Election results, in case you’re curious. It shows both the 2021 and '23 results.

    • PVV: racist freedom party
    • VVD: Rutte’s former party
    • D66: Democrats
    • GL/PvdA: new Left/labour union party
    • NSC: offshoot of the Christian democrat party (CDA)
    • BBB: radicalised farmer’s party
