NETHERLANDS
The incumbent governing coalition could re-form as a majority following a good night for Prime Minister Mark Rutte's centre-right liberal VVD.
- Preliminary results give the four governing parties: Rutte's VVD, the pro-EU liberal D66, the centrist CDA, and the social conservative CU, 80 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives. The gov't could reform (it is the first time since 1998 that a governing coalition has been re-elected as a majority), but talks could take some weeks or even months.
- Implications for Government: Gains for D66 at the expense of the CDA could mean D66 taking over the finance ministry, usually an office afforded to the second-largest party in a coalition government. The CDA are the most 'frugal' of the governing parties with regards to the EU and level of spending it would be willing to countenance. D66 is much more pro-integrationist and may offer a softer tone on issues such as EU budget, Stability and Growth pact. It should be noted, though, that the Dutch government will remain a key part of the 'frugal four', and that there will be no sudden shift in The Hague towards softer stance on EU spending.
