    On Wednesday, the Netherlands held an election to choose the new government, following the collapse of Mark Rutte's fourth government over migration earlier in July. In this video, we're going to explain the shock results, what just happened, and why government formation could be tricky.

    UPDATE: VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz-Zegerius has said VVD will not enter government, but could support a centre-right government in parliament on constructive proposals.
    She said: “The big winners are the PVV and NSC. After thirteen years, a different role suits us. The voter also said: VVD, skip a round. But we will make a centre-right cabinet possible. We will support constructive proposals, so it is a form of tolerance."

      Thanks for this update. This is actually huge, but not in a good way. VVD speaks as if they need to be humble, but by stating this before any formation talks have been going on they actually make it impossible to get a non-right coalition. So they are not humble at all and decide for all of the Netherlands what the outcome has to be. I hope they will make it impossible to get a coalition now so that a re-election is needed where even more VVD voters will judge the actions of Dilan.

      The thing is VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz-Zegerius actually has not a say in that. She also constantly switched back and fort between wanting to form a coalition with wilders. There are options. But dutch society is so polarised the last few years. That if they exclude the PVV from government. Will probably result in mass riots and anger. And will make the situation the crises we have worse by adding another one.

      The real issue is that few parties left of center are even willing to seriously discuss immigration. Many voters are voting for right wing parties because of their immigration stances, even if the rest of their views don't align with the right wing. Denmark is one of few examples of the contrary, in which a left wing government became well liked due to its immigration stance

      Brussels really thinks it can keep sanitizing the absolute crisis that Islamist migrants are putting the EU through. It’s clear as day the single biggest thing making the lives of Europeans today unbearable are Islamist migrants who refuse to integrate and become moderate Muslims. Anyone who doesn’t integrate should be deported, without any loops they can use to stay. Don’t want to become westerner? Move back to a country that fits your ideology like Iran or Syria and be banned from ever entering the EU again. Until that’s official policy by Brussels, anti EU sentiment will continue to grow. Time for them to start listening to the people if they don’t want to destroy what’s left of the EU project.

    No matter what your political ideology is, you have to acknowledge, that the wins of Wilders in Europe and Milei in South America are certainly showing a nice trend for memorable hair. The VVD most likely suffered due to her leader not being memorable enough with her standard hairstyle, so the loss was to be expected. The second place of Timmermans and his gain show solidarity of people that struggle with hair loss and therefore back him. In the recent local elections, BBB has a leader with interesting hair, but was effectively outhaired by Wilders more recently. The leader of D66 and CDA unsurprisingly have very boring hair and accordingly were big election loosers.

    Thank you for this informative video. As a Dutchman I was curious how people from abraod would look at the result of the Dutch elections. One tip: Tell at the beginning of your video that our second chamber has 150 seats. It is helpful for people to know that Wilders has 37 out of 150 seats or The Pvda 25 out of 150 and that a majority of 76 seats is needed to form a government. You did say that number of 76 eventually, but I would mention it right at the beginning. Thanks again for your video.

    To clarify, Rutte has not always outright ruled out including the PVV in government. In his first government, the PVV was a passive support partner as the government did not have a majority in the lower chamber by themselves. The PVV, however, proved unreliable and withdrew their support after a year or two, and this break of trust led Rutte to henceforth avoid including them in government again.

    Hey TLDR, amazing video as always. I'm happy to see you added that VVD only wants to support a government, not be part of it. I wanted to make one comment. While I understand that you have to simplify stuff in favour of getting an understandable video, actually the next step isn't to appoint an informateur. The first step is to appoint an explorer, then they'll publish the results, then they'll discuss those results. Then they'll appoint the informateur, whose job it is to specifically research one coalition, as recommended by the explorer (verkenner). After this, we also have a formateur, but that's after a coalition has been created, and the formateur basically always is the new minister-president/prime minister, whose job it is to appoint ministers from the participating parties. I know, it's convoluted and a clear sign of the (in)famous Dutch 'poldermodel'

      It's going to be hard to swallow for a lot of first time PVV voters when they discover that was just campaign rhetoric and Wilders' actual voting record in parliament shows that he is most likely to favour proposals that were previously put forward by the VVD: the party that was the main contributor to Dutch government in the last 13 years.
      I expect a lot of first time voters will feel like they were served a false bill of goods. And it's unfortunate that we always find that out after the fact, and never before.

      When that was true, they could all have chosen those left wing parties like PvdA/GL and SP. They strongly didnt.

      However, the issue of climate change is a global issue, it's not something one particular government can resolve, you can surely take steps to reduce your own emissions, but if you're the Dutch your emissions are but a tiny dropplet in the context of global emissions, and any efforts you undertake domestically will have no effect whatsoever at the global level.
      But i do agree it would be a good idea for any government that seeks to represent the popular concerns to also have climate change as one of their top issues and to take whatever steps are possible to lower domestic emissions and work with other countries to perhaps help reduce theirs.

    And 2 days in the 2nd biggest party excluded Wilders and the 3rd, previously biggest and government-leading VVD stated they will not be joining any government coalition.
    Thus, there is no center-right majority coalition possible any more, though de VVD did state they could be convinced to support a minority coalition from the opposition benches. Wilders did the same for VVD and CDA during Rutte I and massively screwed them over by pulling is support when the 2008 financial crisis hit. Both the VVD and newcomer and 4th biggest NSC (which includes many, many former CDA politicians) have people in their ranks from that went through that political disaster and may be rather unwilling to trust Wilders ever again.
    It's a mess and somewhat of a clown show, especially when it comes to the VVD, who:
    - Caused the previous government to collapse, supposedly over immigration.
    - Though only the refugee family unification program, which represents less than 4% of the total immigration number.
    - Only to use that exact topic as their primarily election topic, while also campaigning on promising a new approach to politics, looking forward and standing behind the country.
    - This after 13 years of government (and nearly 40 years of continually being part of nearly all government coalitions).
    - A period marred with all manner of socio-economic challenges as well as several political scandals, all of them directly related to VVD policies / ministers.
    - All while, until the last debat, the VVD never challenged the PVV, led by a former VVD member of parliament.
    - Keeping the door open for Wilders to actually be more than an opposition party and protest vote.
    - As up and until now all save for some even more right wing groups have excluded him after the disaster he caused when pulling his opposition support from the Rutte I coalition.
    - And now they are stating that due to the 10 seats they lost they will not be taking part in any coalition, instead opting to go into the opposition benches.
    It remains to be seen just how sincere this last statement is, the VVD has a rather deserved reputation for changing their minds and being extremely opportunistic / neoliberal. This could be a ploy to try and calm down their voters, while also making it clear to Wilders that they'd truly want something out of any support they might lend a (minority) coalition. Most likely this would come down to de PVV and VVD trying to push out as much of NSC's Omzigt's governmental reform ideas..........exploratory talks start on Monday, so unless Wilders of Omtzigt do anything rash over the weekend, we won't know much more until Monday afternoon at the earliest.

      Oh, and also because a lot of people are kind of done with the lack of proper action being taken for over a decade now. Problems such as housing, law enforcement (low capacity), high food prices, lack of backbone (ASML for example), and the complete absence of taking responsibility for mistakes made in the past (gas drilling in Groningen for example) are a few of the reasons people are eager for a change of pace from the politics. Lets hope the new government wil start with being an actual government and focus on fixing the current problems which they were warned about for wel over a decade now.

    A big reason I don't like Timmermans is not because of his roles before but more his history of lying together with his plan on taxes. My belief is that most big companies will leave the Netherlands while small companies might just completely go bankrupt. A lot of people seem to only see their benefits while they might not even get them in the end.

      So Timmermans, in the eyes of the right, is both a member of the leftist EU elite that control the continent, and similtanously will make the Netherland hostile to big coorporations who are frequently put in the same imaginary cabal. You have to pick 1 sir. Besides, currently, the Netherlands is nothing short of an EU-taxhaven. And if this fearmongering on the right that the coorporations will leave the Netherlands should teach you one thing: it is not the government who has the most power over your wealth, it is undemocratic multinationals who will scare you into giving them obscene profits, 'or else'.

    This point gets thrown about a lot, but is clearly incorrect in my view.
    Yesilgöz-Zegerius said earlier that she wouldn't in principle exclude cooperating with any party. However she also said just prior to the elections that the VVD wouldn't enter government if it meant Wilders would become PM.
    It was clear for a while based on polling that the only plausible coalitions that could be formed would be either VVD+NSC+greenleft/PVDA, or VVD+NSC+PVV, with maybe a smaller fourth party thrown in with each coalition.
    There were many people doubting between voting PVV or VVD this election. Those who doubted on the whole saw some of PVV's standpoints as too extreme, but would be okay with VVD entering into government with them as the sharp edges would surely be taken off.
    But whilst they had doubts about PVV they wanted at all costs to prevent the VVD to go into government with Greenleft/PVDA.
    So due to Zegerius seemingly paddling back on her promise to consider the PVV as coalition partner, many people switched their vote from VVD to PVV, reasoning that if the PVV got big enough VVD would find it a lot harder to avoid forming a government with them.

      Exactly, look at the economic party points: higher minimum wage, lower taxes on groceries, better social housing, better social wellfare for elderly, lower rent, lower energy prices, lower health insurance costs. Sounds the opposite of right. Then with globalization, immigration and law and order they are certainly right leaning.

    As someone who is largely a democratic socialist who believes in climate change and science, but who also believes western nations should preserve their more conservative, Christian, and ethnic European roots, it frustrates me beyond belief that denouncing hard science like climate change is nearly always tied together with things like reducing and controlling immigration. If we take the term conservatism at face value it makes sense… these are people staunchly resistant to change, and having to work around the fact that the thing that powers your life is hurting the entire planet in a massive scale is not a welcome change for someone to wrap their head around… but still. The only way to preserve is to change, you must always adapt to the environment around you in order to preserve what you care about most. Not pretend that everything is as it’s always been.

      It drives me mad too. But I don't think the environmentalist movement helps either, XR insists that you can't support climate action unless you support a million other left-leaning issues that have nothing to do with climate. They are good at raising the salience of climate change, which has been a welcome change to our politics; but they have also been stuck in a purity spiral whose net result is to shrink their own coalition, not grow it.

His point is that we're such a small country, that actually spending so much money on environmental issues will just cost too muchand is not worth it. And that's the thing about populism: he wants to promise ppl the world, but someone else will have ot pay the price. Not us!

      That's because conservative Christian values and 'ethnic roots' are pretty incompatible with egalitarian values.
