I get a ''it's not the economy stupid'' vibe from this election. The economy is doing fairly well but the government parties aren't getting rewarded for it (not that the government policies helped the economy that much). There isn't really a main issue, but a lot of politicians talk about norms and values, even/especially VVD politicians, which is pretty interesting since the VVD always was the party fighting against ''betutteling'' (government patronizing). Conservative seems to be an insult in Dutch politics, but if it weren't an insult the VVD probably would call itself conservative by now.
