Slow cabinet formation? Rutte IV continues to govern

The formation drags on. And while time passes, the ministers of the outgoing Rutte IV cabinet are still there. They will remain in office until a new cabinet has taken office, and that could take a very long time. They are outgoing, but in practice, remarkably enough, Rutte IV continues to govern.

In this Hague Affairs you will hear from Eppo König, Philip de Witt Wijnen and Petra de Koning how this works in practice. Is there still room for ministers to come up with new plans? How do ministers and parties deal with their double hats? And where is Prime Minister Mark Rutte?
