I'd prefer a last-minute meltdown of CDA and a Bos government involving SP.

BTW, I forgot: what are the lower limits of entry to the Dutch parliament?

That would be even better.

There aren't any lower limits. You need to attain at least one seat. So that amounts to:

16 million people, say 10 million can vote; 70% of that will vote; divide by 150 for one seat = somewhat over 40.000 votes to get in parliament.

Oh, me too, me too.. and GroenLinks could join SP and PvdA as well. But I think that CDA is in the lead in all the polls at the moment.

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--

But right now, I don't think it's happening... If the trends of the past week are real, it will be a gruelling aftermath. There really is a possibility of political lockdown, like what happened with Germany and Czech.

Bos and Balkenende have clashed heads too often to go all smiles again and negotiate without becoming the joke of the century. The worst option would the Denmark scenario: a minority government between CDA and VVD - in other words, a continuation of what we've had the past aching four years.
