Good counter-point to Oui. Okay, so what would Balkende have to do to stay in power. Or, what does the Middle left have to do to win the next election (you may have said this in your other post...I'm brain-dead tonight..)

Balkenende has to convince the centre to vote for him. And hope that the VVD(Libs) don't implode. But I think the only scenario in which he will survive as PM is that he wins/keeps the same amount of seats while Labour loses seats. It might happen if voters vote Socialist & Green in large numbers instead of Labour. When these parties won't have a majority, and Labour loses (gets smaller than CDA), the CDA-Labour coalition might be the only available option. In this scenario, he might stay PM.
