Political reporter Ron Fresen:
“The option of a minority government quickly disappeared from the picture. Working in a highly fragmented political climate with a minority government is not an attractive prospect for parties. The General Reflections also showed that such a cabinet should receive the top prize financially for every proposal. pay for support from others.
The spin about Remkes from D66 was stupid, especially because they argue for a new governance culture. After a flawless election campaign, the party made a few crucial mistakes, this one around Remkes and the lecture in which Kaag lashed out at Rutte, without a clear strategy.
But all parties do not deserve a beauty prize in this formation. Rutte has fallen through the ice with ‘function elsewhere’, the CDA has had a hard time with the Omtzigt affair, the ChristenUnie has said too quickly that they no longer wanted Rutte and left-wing parties have held on to each other and are now empty-handed. “
