Overview
- An EenVandaag poll finds most D66 (62%) and CDA (65%) voters now accept a minority cabinet with the VVD, with VVD voters the most favorable to the trio.
- Overall, 48% of respondents deem a D66–CDA–VVD minority acceptable, while 61% still prefer a majority government and only 13% actively favor a minority setup.
- A D66–CDA–GroenLinks–PvdA minority draws less backing at 34%, as many respondents expect difficulty finding majorities for legislation.
- The proposed D66–CDA–VVD combination would hold 66 seats and would need to seek ad hoc support in both chambers for its plans.
- One day earlier, former ministers Roger van Boxtel (D66) and Cees Veerman (CDA) urged the VVD to explore a minority cabinet with D66 and CDA, arguing a broad deal with GroenLinks–PvdA looks unlikely given that bloc’s unfinished merger and Frans Timmermans’ recent resignation.
