The outspoken elections

Uitslagen2006The political landscape is shifting again. The most remarkable thing is that most established and/or middle-of-the-road parties lost seats, while the outspoken parties (SP, Wilders/Party for Freedom, CU and the Animal Farm Party) won. Looks like this time is asking for clear convictions. Of course with more outspokenness on the both the left and right, it's not easy to form a workable coalition. The most likely (but still difficult) option at this moment is CDA-PvdA (centre right and centre left) with the Christian Union, which would be historical because it gives the Evangelicals (who doubled their seats) a first-time leverage influence in the coalition talks.
