Wilders wants to govern, but does that ever happen?

In several interviews, the PVV leader said in recent days that he is too eager to rule. Indeed, if his party comes to power it would sometimes can have major consequences.

"If we are put offside and nobody wants to rule us, then people would not just accept it."

Wilders muscles language deflection is not new PVV says historian and connoisseur Koen Vossen, of the Radboud University Nijmegen. "Wilders is like no other, pick the media by making extreme statements. Nevertheless, he makes other parties not loved. And that's a problem in a country where you have to form coalitions. "

form coalitions

Naturally polls worth nothing as long as there is not really tuned. But the trend that has been taking shape for some time shows a splintering of the political landscape in which five parties fluctuate around twenty seats. The one that rises above it is the PVV.

If current polls ever become reality then is a particularly difficult coalition without Wilders.

The three largest parties after the PVV, VVD, CDA and D66, are now in the Bearing Pointer at best account for 64 seats. SP with it the total to 82. A combination without SP but seems possible with the PvdA and GroenLinks.

No reliable partner

And coalition without the PVV will thus be quite a chore. Yet the chance that Wilders will reign with little thought UvA political scientist Matthijs Rooduijn. "As it looks now, there are required at least two other parties to form a coalition. The chances of PvdA, D66 or SP reign seems almost impossible to me with the PVV. "

Moreover, according to the Foxes failed Rutte-1 addition. The VVD and CDA cabinet with parliamentary support of the PVV for all concerned remains a trauma. "Partnering with the PVV was almost a suicide mission of the CDA. That party was almost torn in two. And the VVD has there a decent hangover kept. Ultimately provides together with the PVV a lot of hassle while Wilders has not proved reliable partner. "

five-party coalition

Even with a spell that comes close to the current poll appears to be a coalition of four or five parties therefore likely than a cabinet Wilders.

A government of four or five parties may sound strange, but it is certainly not impossible. In the 50s, 60s and 70s it was even the standard. Especially the three Christian parties KVP, CHU and ARP dominated the cabinets together with PvdA and VVD.

In 1973 succeeded Labour Prime Minister Joop den Uyl there to form a five-party cabinet with KVP, ARP, PPR and D66.

But after the three Christian parties together since 1977 when the CDA participated in the election, not seen his coalition of more than three parties.
