The cabinet has fallen. What now? On to Rutte V or is it time for a new prime minister?
Time for a new prime minister, answers 82 percent of the participants in the statement of the day.
‘Enough is enough’, ‘It’s about time someone could solve problems instead of creating them’ and ‘Too much has gone wrong under his leadership’ are the mildest reactions to this statement.
Who then?
But Rutte also has supporters, who mainly blame the rest of the cabinet for the fall of Rutte IV. ‘A good administrator and a good prime minister. His fourth cabinet was a jumbled mess’.
And another participant fears that things will not get any better with a new prime minister. ‘Everyone makes mistakes, and what is happening in Groningen now? Gas tap open again?’ Someone else: ‘I don’t know who can better represent the Netherlands abroad than Mark Rutte.’ And ‘Who then?’ is someone else’s simple response.
