Balkenende III

Posted by Rob (#1) on July 6, 2006 09:38 CEST

We Dutch have a new parliament: Balkenende III. It is basically the same as the old CDA/VVD coalition, except that the majority is now provided by filler parties such are the LPF and Christian splinter groups, instead of filler party D66. Rita Verdonk is still member and as such D66 has already announced they might put down another motion of distrust tomorrow. Or at least would definitely vote in favour of any such motion issued by another party.

Wouldn't that be something? Formation in five days (thanks Ruud), disbanded in two. At that rate we could already have Balkenende XXII on election day (November 22) and establish a complete lack of international credibility no later than this weekend.
