De meest logische coalitie - met een meerderheid in zowel Eerste als Tweede Kamer - is D66, CDA, VVD én GL-PvdA. Maar omdat Yesilgöz heeft besloten dat de rood-groene brave rakkers ‘terroristen’ zijn, krijgt ze haar zin. Het is schandalig, en opnieuw blijken de overige partijen vooral laf en slaafs.
D66, CDA met VVD gaan verder praten over minderheidskabinet
Nu andere opties niet lukken lijkt dit nog de enige optie.

Song with which Anouk represented the Netherlands at Eurovison Song Contest 2013.

FIFA is a joke. Infantino is corrupt. The beautiful sport had to fire him and clean out the rot. 🤬🤬🤬
