Dutch political affiliation

VVD

It's good to see that atlas also hates the PvdA. Last election they got 38 seats (25% of the vote) but they entered an impopular coalition with the VVD and now they are polling at 10-12 seats (7-8%).

The last peil.nl poll:

PVV 36
VVD 23
CDA 14
D66 14
GroenLinks 14
SP 11
50PLUS 11
PvdA 10
ChristenUnie 5
PvdD 5
SGP 3
DENK 3
VNL 1 (small right-wing eurosceptic party that tries to occupy the mythical space between the centre-right VVD and the far-right PVV)

76 seats are needed for a majority and nobody wants to work with the PVV. Good luck.

It's gonna be easy for PVV to be the largest party.

Possibly but the Dutch electorate is nowadays extremely volatile (a far cry from back in the day when the country was so pillarised the electorate were pretty boring). I wouldn't be hugely surprised if the final election is completely different from current polls (neither would I be surprised if the polls are bang on atm and the country is plunged into an ungovernable mess).

Yeah. 1 month before the 2012 election the SP (socialists) polled at 35+ seats while the PvdA (social democrats) polled at 15-20 seats. The PvdA ended up winning 38 seats while the SP won only 15.
