Netherlands elections: PVV (ID) doubles and becomes the largest party according to Exit Polls. Polls disavowed

23 November 20236 months ago babelfish

The pre-election polls have been disavowed by the electorate, provided that the exit poll data are confirmed. The party that emerges victorious is Geert Wilders' PVV (ID group, like the League) which is the first party and would secure 35 seats out of the 150 available, in a parliament traditionally very fragmented due to the use of a proportional system. The traditional centrist party CDA, (EPP), was almost wiped out, replaced by a new party from the EPP group, New Coalition (NSC)

Here are the results as exit poll numbers:

PVV→ID: 35

GL/PvdA-G/EFA|S&D: 25

VVD-RE: 24

NSC→EPP: 20

D66-RE: 10

BBB (rebel farmers): 7

CDA-EPP: 5

SP→LEFT: 5

PvdD-LEFT: 3

FvD-NI: 3

Geert Wildersm rightly celebrates:

35!!!!!!

The first definitive data state that the PVV could even reach 37 seats and that the liberals of D66 could even fall below 10, while the radical left-green coalition, GL, could reach 25.

However, at the same time, with these numbers, it would still be possible to create a government with "Everyone in", from the two liberal parties, to the left, to the People's Party, to the Greens, which would exceed the necessary 76 seats. Of course, it would be an extremely contradictory government, which would go against the tendencies shown by the vote, indeed it would humiliate them. A government that would bring forward people like Timmermans, the former socialist-green vice-president of the commission who was responsible for the most rigid, and least intelligent and applicable, rules on "Climate Change".

So the PVV won the elections, but, a bit like the EPP in Spain, it is not guaranteed that it will be able to govern. Of course, its exclusion, like that of the BBB farmers' party, would be a real slap in the face of democracy. Something they are quite used to in the Netherlands, given that the last coalitions were a mess made to keep the usual ones in power.
