The Netherlands is going to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new Parliament after the sitting government recently fell after failing to reach agreement about the Netherlands’ continued involvement in Afghanistan.
I haven’t been following this campaign closely, but a friend of mine has recently started a blog on Dutch politics. FiveThirtyEight today also published a good summary of the current situation in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands has a pure electoral system, with no constituencies or thresholds used, meaning that election results closely reflect the polls and don’t reflect different electoral races. Consider this an open thread to discuss the Dutch election, or indeed any other election other than the Australian federal election.
Great to see The Party For The Animals maintain their 2 seats and Groenlinks increase to 10!
