      Yes, but no new government has been formed yet (multiple parties need to form an agreement to do so).

      In the mean time, the old government is in a row with the new parliament.

        And I predict new elections within 6 months because there is no way they will be able to form a stable government right now.

        The Social Democrats will sign their own death warrants if they join a government without the Socialist Party (lots of people already switched from Social Democrat to Socialist and a lot more will follow if the Socialists stay in the opposition) and the largest party, the Christian Democrats, made it quite clear they don't want the Socialists in.

        Fun times...
        Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
        And notifying the next of kin
        Once again...

          In good Dutch tradition a compromize appears to have been reached: Parliament bit of one ball, but the government twisted a little so they could claim they were only nibbled at the sack...

          (meaning that minister Verdonk has basically lost her position (but will retain some minor cabinet postion), and that parliaments request will be fullfilled up to a not so well defined point)

          Yay for a parliament with balls!

              I think this just goes to show that The Glorious Republic of Wales should annex Holland.
