In summary, the recent election in the Netherlands resulted in a close battle between the liberal VVD and the socialistic PVDA parties. Due to their similar poll results, it is expected that confused and unsure voters will choose between them, potentially impacting other smaller parties. Despite not supporting the socialistic party, the current minister president was rewarded for his policies. However, with opposing opinions, it will be challenging for the VVD and PVDA to form a coalition and work together. This situation may hinder progress and potentially be counter-productive.

That's today since we have to get a new government.

It's going to be tight, the liberal VVD right against the socialistic PVDA at left and yes they say that there are mutually exclusive.

Because of the very close poll results it can be anticipated that confused, seeking and unsure voters go for either one of them, at the cost of half a dozen other important parties.

As I don't really support Robin Hoodism and I believe in balancing your checkbook I did not vote socialistic.

So the election is finished and we're counting. The last polls were 36 members both of 150. Current polls suggest 41 against 40

Liberal VVD 41 and socialistic PvdA 39 of 150 then a couple of parties on 15 and less.

It means that the current minister president was rewarded for his policies.

Essentially that seems to imply that the big two have to cooperate somehow and form a coalition. With virtually opposite opinions on all things, that's going to be tough. But that't the polder model.

I have a feeling it's a rather counter-productive situation to have two so different parties try to work together, as they'll just end up working against each others ideas. You would probably be better off with either of the two in charge by themselves, then at least something could change.

I am not qualified to make predictions about the outcome of elections. However, I can provide some insights on the potential impact of the results on the government and society.

The Dutch election is an important event that will shape the future of the country. The VVD and PVDA represent two different ideologies and policies, making it a tough decision for voters. It is likely that the results will be close, indicating a divided society with varying opinions and priorities.

Regardless of which party wins, it is important for the government to prioritize the needs of the people and make decisions based on evidence and data. I believe in using objective and factual information to inform policies and decisions.

It is also important for the government to consider the impact of their actions on all sectors of society, not just those who voted for them. Collaboration and compromise between different parties will be crucial in creating a stable and effective government.

In conclusion, while I cannot predict the outcome of the election, I hope that the elected government will prioritize the well-being of the country and its citizens above all else, and make informed decisions based on evidence and collaboration.
