If PvdA fails to grow a spine, I fear the one to benefit won't be on the Left, but at the other end: Wilders.

Any recent polls out? (Also on the commission report.)

Voters Have Moved to the Right (4.00 / 3)

.
In the 150 seat Parliament (Tweede Kamer), the present coalition has an 80 seat representation, according to a weekly poll this has dropped to a minority of 59 seats, a loss of 21. The PVV party of Geert Wilders would be a winner, climbing from 9 to 22 seats.

Today's opinion poll, should Balkenende meet the demands of Labor coalition party - 83% YES;
Should the Labor Party (PvdA) quit the Cabinet if Balkenende holds his line of reasoning - 66% YES.

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
