Politics and Elections in the Netherlands: coalition agreement presented

[SunSt0rm]

Bladel goes to VVD, expected going to CDA. Noord Brabant will certainly vote for VVD now

[SunSt0rm]

Eindhvoen going to VVD now, biggest city in the South

[Zinneke]

PVV wins Maastricht

Wow that city trended PvdA for so many years.

[Bumaye]

With 55% counted the prognosis is almost same as the exit poll. One more for VVD, one less for GroenLinks.

[SunSt0rm]

VVD 32
CDA 19
PVV 19
D66 19
GL 15
SP 14
PvdA 10
CU 6

VVD+CDA+D66+Cu= 76

[DavidB.]

Prognosis over 50%: VVD +1 to 32, GL -1 to 15, same similar. Excellent result for the center right

[jaichind]

Amazing how good the exit poll is.

[SunSt0rm]

Amazing how good the exit poll is.

The kids are alright.

The distribution of votes for the SGP is so weird. They win more gemeenten than GL, D66 and CU combined but are at 2,3%. I mean they get 20,9% in Zwartewaterland and 5 kilometers away in Hattem they only get 2,2%. What the hell is that?

The Dutch Bible belt

 
  
But it isn't a belt. I mean it would make sense to me if let's say everything east and south of the Flevopolder was the strong area for the SGP but it's always like one municipality, then come three normal ones and then another SGP municipality.  
  
EDIT:  
  
GroenLinks has just won Nijmegen. VVD wins Tilburg, Enschede and Breda. Of the largest 15 cities only Apeldoorn and Almere are missing.

[Tintrlvr]

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

GL did do better in Utrecht than in Amsterdam, but D66 also did better in Utrecht than Amsterdam, and by enough to pip GL in Utrecht.

Also, lol PvdA. People were saying Leeuwarden was their best chance at winning a municipality, and they came seventh.

[MAINEiac4434]

Does PvdA even exist anymore?

[jaichind]

Most likely I do not know what I am talking about but looking at the outstanding districts I really doubt  PVV and D66 will end up with the same number of seats.  Most likely PVV will get 20 and D66 will get 18.  But the current projection has them both en route to get 19.  Most likely the projection is taking account of data unknown to me.

[Mike88]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that there could be a shy VVD vote out there:

32 VVD
23 PVV
21 CDA
17 GL
16 D66
12 SP
  9 PvdA
  7 CU
  4 50+
  4 PvvD
  3 SGP
  1 Denk
  1 FvD  

Not bad my prediction. Although i exaggerated a bit on PVV and GL and underestimated D66. I believe Tender also made a spot on prediction.

The belt exists, but it's not a perfect one

[Tetro Kornbluth]

What exactly is the voter base of the Animal Rights' party and how is it different to GL?

[Bumaye]

PVV seems to get a 20th seat while GL is down to 14. A little unfortunate, but won't change much in the grand scheme of things.

GL is going to finish behind SP in sixth, at least in votes, and tied for fifth in seats, which has to be disappointing for a party that at times was flirting with second.

Disappointing. I was liking that PVV was on equal power with D66 and CDA.

[ApatheticAustrian]

surely disappointing if you wish for a leftish influence in politics - like i do - but this could have played out even worse and it was, kind of, the worst possible scenario for the general european left.

DENK/Wilders/party-splitting are all weakening a singular influence....surely going to be better the next time and since there are going to be, most likely, neither leftish nor crypto-culturalist fingerprints on the agenda of the next government, the time for healing is now.

No, I'm ecstatic that Wilders has been told "BTFO" by the Dutch electorate. Klaver's going to be in a golden position in the next election.

Did you support D66, and why for a party so right-wing economically?

Judging by the polls, best chance for a non-VVD, CDA or PVV largest party and Prime Minister.
