Worries are widespread about the cabinet formation in the Netherlands after the Parliamentary elections of June 9th.
On that day a new Second Chamber was elected, but it remains to be seen what the newly formed fractions of the political parties will do with the trust the voters will give them on that day. It remains very uncertain what coalition government will be formed in the cabinet formation starting after the election.
Peter Bootsma works as a researcher at the Montesquieu Institute at Maastricht University and is working on a PhD thesis on coalitionbuilding. He commented on the formation process so far in a Current Affairs Lecture on 24 June in Maastricht.
