It is almost impossible for scout Ronald Plasterk to take the first step towards forming a new cabinet, political reporter Arend van Wijngaarden writes in his commentary. Do you agree with him or do you still see possibilities?
As the loser of the elections, the VVD has decided not to join a cabinet. That party wants to make a right-wing cabinet possible, but only with support from the House of Representatives.
Pieter Omtzigt and his NSC have major objections to the election manifesto of the winner PVV. Omtzigt came up with a long list of obligations that Wilders and the PVV must first meet before he even wants to enter into discussions.
Without the support of VVD and NSC, in whatever way, a cabinet seems unthinkable in the short term.
