Politics and Elections in the Netherlands: coalition agreement presented

[SunSt0rm]

So if I'm reading the map right, PvdA has yet to actually be declared the winner in a single seat?

If I am correct, Leeuwaarden is their only chance, if they lose their, they will not win any municipality

So, just to double-check, the municipality map from NOS does not equate to actual seats. Like, SGP leading in five doesn't translate to five seats, and Amsterdam (I assume) has more than one seat in the House of Representatives?

Purely proportional system.

Why is the CDA doing so well in the north? Isn't that leftist country?

North is PvdA and CDA country. Populist and liberal parties arent doing well there

East Groningen begs to differ.

True, its more the rust belt.

This map will explain much of the Dutch electoral map
In the civil belt, CDA should be stronger than the VVD if they are close

Can anyone translate that map to English?

The results were based on the Ukraine referendum. Josse de Voogd, expert on geographical election made this map. Rust Belts are places PVV and SP should do well. Civil belt is place where populist parties wont do well, where CDA and PvdA should do well. Green belt are places where the D66 and GL should do well

Just to add : the overgangzone is where Belgium should extend the cultural divide between the Catholic South and the Protestant North.

True, catholic will be vote for more populistic parties like PVV, SP and 50+. Protestant North votes more for CDA and PvdA

Leeuwarden fliped from PvdA to VVD. PvdA lost 31% here.

[SunSt0rm]

Leeuwarden:
Ouch, PvdA isnt going to win any municipality tonight

[Classic Conservative]

VVD barely wins Rotterdam.

Ouch, for the PVV, who were favorite to win Rotterdam

Denk bigger than PvdA 8.1%-6.4%

[Lachi]

PPV only .3% behind in Rotterdam. VVD gains Rotterdam

[Zuza]

The magnitude of the catastrophe says that PvdA is the new PASOK.

Judging by their polling numbers yes, but PvdA will probably rebound in the future while PASOK seems to be dead for good.

VVD barely wins Rotterdam.

This is f*****ing big. The PVV messed up.

[Lachi]

Hauge goes to VVD

[SunSt0rm]

Urk as expected

[GlobeSoc]

Any chances for any other parties to get on the map?

[Lachi]

VVD won Den Hagg by 5.1% vs. PPV

[SunSt0rm]

Any chances for any other parties to get on the map?

No, Its only going to be VVD, CDA, D66, GL, PVV, CU and SGP. Leeuwarden was the only chance of PvdA, which they lose

The Hague

[Zinneke]

Considering last time out Wilders prematurely collapsed a government he really isn't doing that well. He should be weighed up against 2010.

[SunSt0rm]

VVD can drill fot more gas. lol



VVD+CDA+D66+CU seems to get a majority!

[SunSt0rm]

Klaver expects to be on the sideline and be opposition leader at NOS

[SunSt0rm]

Denk at 8.1% in Rotterdam, Disguting, but think I can win the prediction game here

[DavidB.]

Denk at 8.1% in Rotterdam, Disguting, but think I can win the prediction game here

You expected Denk to win there, or you expected the VVD to win there?

[SunSt0rm]

As expected D66 wins Wageningen

[SunSt0rm]

Denk at 8.1% in Rotterdam, Disguting, but think I can win the prediction game here

You expected Denk to win there, or you expected the VVD to win there?

No, I expected Rotterdam to be the best Denk municiipality, which becomes true, never expected VVD to win Rotterdam. Everyone expected PVV to win Rotterdam

[Zinneke]

As expected D66 wins Wageningen

And Utrecht. Go higher education.

[SunSt0rm]

lol D66 wins Utrecht, expected GL to win Utrecht instead of D66. I expected GL performing better in Utrecht than in Amsterdam

[SunSt0rm]

PVV wins Maastricht
