Segers says to Nederlands Dagblad that CU are not entering another cabinet with Rutte as PM. He states that cooperation with VVD in a new cabinet is still possible, but not with Rutte cause he is the poster boy of the political culture of the last ten years. A culture where elections are a nuisance and an interruption, and where opposition (i.e Omzigt) is impeded. The man responsible for that culture can not lead a cabinet, which have to change that culture.
Without CU's votes the other day, there had not been a majority to save Rutte in the vote of no confidence, so with Segers' statement it really seems like game over for Rutte.
I think Harry Potter still has another spell up his sleeve. We thought he was done on thursday, but this guy is incredible is his ability to survive.
Also Peil has come up with the poll in the aftermath of the debate. VVD is losing 6 seats and it shows that electorally its better to keep Rutte than replacing him especially with a nobody. Also D66 is not suffering so far from the debacle and decision not to vote Rutte away.
Peil also polled whether parties should govern with Rutte. A very big majority of CDA and D66 voters do not want their party to join a new Rutte-led government
That figure for the SGP seems surprising, given that I thought they were a testimonial party. Evidently a lot of their voters don't think that.
