Newcomer Forum for Democratie, The Dutch anti-EU, anti-immigration party rumbles into the Provincial States in The Netherlands.
The two major winners are Forum for Democratie and the green party, GroenLinks.
The Rutte government also loses its majority in the senate mainly due to the loss of coalition partners CDA and D66. A majority ia needed to get bills passed through the senate.
The profit for Forum for Democratie (FvD) is mainly at the expense of the PVV of Geert Wilders, which loses about one in three voters. Nevertheless, never before have so many Dutch people – more than one in five voters – voted for parties that raised themselves as the political heirs of Pim Fortuyn.
FvD has not been represented in the senate so far and, now that almost all he votes has been counted, they can count on thirteenseats. The PVV loses four of the current nine senate seats compared to four years ago, making it the seventh largest in terms of size. Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s VVD loses one seat (from thirteen to twelve) and received fewer votes than FvD. There are greater losses for coalition partners CDA and D66, which surrendered four out of ten seats.
The ChristenUnie, the smallest coalition group, is able to maintain itself and even seems to be gaining a seat: from three to four. The coalition fractions would, according to the exit poll, leave 31 of the 38 senate seats.
For a majority in the Senate, the govenment could turn to FvD or GroenLinks or the PvdA.
The party of Jesse Klaver (Groen Links) seems to more than double the number of seats (from 4 to 9), equal to the best election result ever.
Newcomer and muslimparty ‘DENK’ didn’t get enough votes for a seat in the senate.
