Europa

Niederländer hier. Mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht and darum type ich mein Erklärung in Englisch. (Hopefully I didn't make too many grammar errors lol)

Anyway, Timmermans is kind of painted as a boogyman among right wingers. They think he'll take "all our money and give it to the immigrants" and similar rhetoric is echoeing through the Dutch media.

The current leader of the VVD (Yesilgoz) doesn't want to anger her base, so she has said she won't work with Timermans.

The PVV (with Wilders as leader) will never, ever work with Timmermans. The PVV and GroenLinks/PvDa are too different and they're basically the complete opposite of each other.

And because neither VVD nor PVV want to work with Timmermans, a coalition isn't possible. Back in November, after I returned from the voting booth and saw the results, I already thought to myself that we'll have elections again pretty quick. And I was right lol. The NSC (under leadership of Omtzigt) is conservative, yet they simultaneously worship the Dutch constitution and the plans of Wilders definitely violate the constitution. And without NSC, a coalition isn't possible, so we'll probably have new elections within a couple of months again.
