It is not the first time that GroenLinks and the Labor Party want to try it together. Previous attempts have been unsuccessful, but now the two sides seem closer than ever. On Saturday, the members can express their views on the next step in the cooperation: a joint group in the Senate.
In this Hague Affairs Philip de Witt Wijnen and Pim van den Dool list earlier attempts at rapprochement: why did they always fail? And they tell about the proponents and opponents of (far-reaching) cooperation, the arguments they put forward and what makes this new attempt different from the previous one.
