@dutchnewsnl.bsky.social why is it that everyone pontificating / prognosticating re: the coalition formatie seems to assume it MUST bend to the whims of VVD? Isn’t something like this technically an option? bsky.app/profile/shak...
Well there are various options to get the 76 seats without VVD or any fascist parties. Here's one option:
D66 26 seats
GL/PvdA 20
CDA 18
PvdD 3
CU 3
SP 3
50+ 2
Volt 1
Total = 76
Unlikely to happen. 8 parties would be very hard to form and control. But it is a viable threat to tell VVD "no fascists"
