Expectations for a right-wing coalition have increased this week after conversations between informant Plasterk and the party leaders of VVD, PVV, NSC and BBB. Last week, 54 percent expected that a coalition with the PVV was possible, now this has risen to 64 percent.
Voters set tough conditions
The research shows that many voters of VVD, NSC and BBB want to impose strict conditions on cooperation with the PVV. A majority of this group wants Wilders to put quite a few of his points on hold in the near future.
He should drop the ban on Qurans and mosques, just like a ban on Islamic schools. The PVV also wants the Netherlands to withdraw from the UN climate agreement and the UN refugee treaty in the coming years, but the group of voters of VVD, NSC and BBB insist that the PVV also abandon these points. Support for Ukraine must also be maintained by VVD, NSC and BBB voters, Wilders argued in favor of withdrawing this. The next PVV wish, the abolition of the Senate, must also be taken off the table.
“Voters of VVD, NSC and BBB draw a line at many points of the PVV that conflict with the rule of law or international treaties and agreements,” says RTL opinion pollster Gijs Rademaker. “But if we look at the supporters of the PVV itself, we see that many voters there are also prepared to let go of those points. They think it is more important that a right-wing coalition becomes possible that has immigration high on the agenda and they want a lot of for submission.”
‘Drop Quran and mosque ban’
Of the more than two thousand PVV voters in the survey, a large proportion agree to the conditions of voters from the other parties. For example, only 11 percent necessarily want the PVV to stick to a Koran and mosque ban during negotiations. 84 percent think Wilders should drop that. This also applies to many other points.
Do continue to deport illegal asylum seekers and stop asylum
There are also points that the PVV supporters do not want to give up. For example, 91 percent want Wilders to continue deporting or detaining illegal asylum seekers. Almost three-quarters of the PVV supporters (70 percent) want a complete asylum stop. The combined voters of VVD, NSC and BBB are divided on that last point: half (50 percent) think that the PVV should hold that point, 44 percent not.
“If discussions about a right-wing coalition were to start in the coming weeks, this result does not mean that it will be easy,” Rademaker said. “In our research we also see many points that right-wing voter groups still have very different views on. What this research mainly shows is that the PVV supporters are prepared to take action on quite a few points, including partly on Wilders’ anti-Islam points.” “These points were not an important reason for most voters to vote PVV. They were mainly concerned with immigration, housing, healthcare and safety.”
Accountability
The survey was conducted on December 8 and 9 and, after weighting, was representative of five variables, namely: age, gender, education, employment and political preference. The RTL News Panel has more than 40,000 members. 2,100 PVV voters and a total of 4,500 voters from VVD, NSC and BBB participated in the survey.
