Good call (none / 1)

But this does suggest that negotiation between CDA and SP will bounce. Balkenende practically invited the SP over for the negotiation table on the tv..

CDA+SP is 67 according to the latest result. So what other party/parties are possible in addition?

Re: Good call (none / 0)

The truth? None.

Only Wilders (impossible) or a cobmination of 2 other parties. ChristenUnie + GroenLinks? ChrisenUnie + D66? It's all pretty hopeless.

And minority government is out of the question?

Re: Good call (none / 0)

No, but not common. I can't even recall that it has been done before, until this year.

67 seats sounds as too little, especially in a partnership of CDA and SP.
