Christian Union is the closest thing to my ideal political party. Enthusiastic vote for them.

Inclined towards Labour depending on how much austerity and spending cuts are an issue.

for me it's not ideal, but given the record of VVD the past few years I might vote CU as well.

I voted Labour, but I realize now I should probably go with GreenLeft, as they had what might be my favorite party in the world merge into them.

One of the easiest choices for me in global politics- VVD. Many of their Neoclassical Liberal stances are similar to mine.
SP winning? I am actually surprised- though Labour would be enough for many.

Either D66 or GroenLinks, both are pretty great (but all the others are pretty horrible).

D66 are the ultimate example of a party that seems to exist in order to get the "Liberal academic" vote.

Don't know actually. Not VVD or Wilders though.

My understanding is that it is now the tradition in the Netherlands to randomly pick parties - probably using dice - you're totally going to vote for (honest!) in questions like this, right up until the actual election when you make up your mind for real.

D66. Perhaps VVD, but doubtful.

Current results:

Socialist Party: 36 seats
VVD: 27 seats
GreenLeft: 23 seats
D66: 18 seats
CU: 18 seats
Labour: 14 seats
PVV: 9 seats
Animals: 5 seats

I'm assuming a Socialist-GreenLeft-D66 coalition would be most likely? Animals aren't likely to join a coalition and Labour-Socialist-GreenLeft wouldn't be enough to get a majority. Alternative, a VVD-D66-CU-Labour coalition would also have a majority.

I don't see how this is a bad thing. Tongue

Wouldn't that be the CDA?
