    Well, the main question is whether they’ll be able to accomplish more as opposition. It wouldn’t surprise me as they can, though at the same time, they’re not as big a threat anymore now that it’s clear that no party will want to govern with them anymore in the foreseeable future, so maybe whoever does get to govern feels less pressure to move in their direction. Until a new party arises, of course.

      As was stated by another commenter, the VVD already wasn’t willing to work with the PVV but Yeșilgöz threw that overboard because they lost so badly in the polls she was looking for a last resort to at least get a seat at the table.

      It’s not unlike what the PvdA and D66 have done ever since Rutte-I. It’s actually kind of interesting that CDA has never said anything like this. At least not in a memorable way.

        Yeah exactly, and this is a surefire way to make her and the rest of the VVD regret that. Presumably they’ll remember the lesson this time, at least for the foreseeable future.

        (I do believe CDA has also consistently said they won’t form a coalition with PVV ever since Rutte I, but don’t quote me on that.)
