    Since the November election, politicians in the Netherlands have been scrambling to form a government. This week though, Geert Wilders finally managed to bring together a coalition, one that will see the country go rightwards. In this video, we take a look at the new coalition, it's policies, and who might end up being the new Prime Minister.

    I find it hilarious that controlling immigration is still considered 'right wing'.

He has experience and already knows the parties because he led the coalition talks for some time.

      There is no fraud, it is confirmed that he did't commit a crime. Only thing is that he had a company with cancer patents. He sold his company for more than 30 million. The only thing is that he didn't shared the money with the university where he did the research and his co-researcher. So the left is targeting him. He did nothing against the law, so big chance he will be the next PM.

      You are right of course. But "liberaal" cannot be translated to "liberal" in English. "Liberal" in Anglo Saxon countries mean "left wing" or "progressive".

      I think that policy of priority exists because asylum seekers are among the most vulnerable members of society, usually with zero contact networks or family support to fall back on in the country as opposed to citizens that usually can get that help from other parties than the state. Without social housing integration would be weakened and many asylum seekers would end up on the streets and increase their crime rate.
      It’s regrettable that Dutch citizens and asylum seekers must be put against eachother however, when the real problem is severe underfunding and lack of political action to increase the housing supply for several decades.

    D66 are not social-democrats.
    That's not my opinion they just never labelled themselves as such.
    The PVDA (now sort of merged with greenleft) are the self-identified social democrats.
    The SP is also characterised by some as social democrat, but by others as democratic socialist.
    D66 is probably most accurately described as politically 'progressive'. Though some (in the party especially) might also say centrist.
    Also,
    Plasterk being part of the Labour party doesn't mean he can still be called center left.
    He has shifted to the right of social issues since leaving office. He's also started writing for de Telegraaf, a Dutch newspaper which could be compared to the New York Post in the US.
    He's been having talks with Omzigt to try and patch up relations, which very clearly signals that he is a serious candidate for the premiership.

Calling them centrist is a wildly inaccurate statement. Plasterk being part of the Labour party does mean he can still be called center left, because he stays member of the PvdA due to his Left-leaning values and ideals. The reason he started writing for De Telegraaf is to avoid being censored for criticising the left. Just like Tulsi Gabard left the Democrats for the same reason.

    Reading between the (many) lines discussed here, it seems as though the main takeaway from this analysis is the fact that Wilders' PVV party has had to temper/abandon most of its more extreme manifesto pledges to play any role in forming the incoming administration - for me this means that Proportional Representation [PR] has worked again, in ensuring that extremism is not normalised, eviscerating the all too common claim made by opponents of PR here (in the UK) that PR enables extremists to prevail.
    Yes, PR offers a legitimate avenue to representation for more extreme political ideas but it actually denies them opportunities to secure absolute power, in stark contrast to First Past the Post [FPTP].
    If the Dutch Election showcased here had used FPTP, Wilders would be PM and the PVV would be boasting a small but working majority in the Dutch Parliament - nightmare!!!

    Quick note on Plasterk, the potential PM candidate (not yet confirmed to be the candidate, though highly suspected): He was also the mediator for the four parties in the first round of negotiations. He had a little bit of a falling out with NSC's Omtzicht and it seems as though that may have caused Omtzicht to not agree to Plasterk as PM. On top of that issue, which could be relatively easily resolved, there's a potentially bigger issue for Plasterk. He's currently being investigated for basically stealing credit for medical research at a Dutch university, having made millions off it. Such questions about his integrity might linger for weeks or months as the investigation continues, which is time that they don't have. It's likely that Wilders will be forced to pick someone else to be the candidate instead

Because on many fronts they are much more left-wing than VVD. The only clear and distinctive thing you can say about PVV, is that they are very conservative (and nationalist).
    Overall I don't think this is a more right-wing government than the last. Maybe a bit. The main difference is that this new government is VERY conservative compared to the previous ones. So there seems to be a swing towards conservatism, not specifically towards the right.

    Normally your videos are great and informative, but this one is just too sloppy. A lot of small mistakes (for example, D66 aren't social democrats, they're social-liberals) and two big ones:
    1. A lot of the drama during the talks was about what form the next government would take, with the PVV and BBB supporting a majority cabinet, VVD preferring a minority cabinet and NSC wanting an extra-parliamentary cabinet. In the end NSC won out, mostly at least. That's also the reason why all party leaders will stay MP's.
    2. Plasterk really isn't a centre-left politician (anymore). After his time as minister (until 2017) he became a columnist for a right-wing newspaper and a conservative. The thing currently blocking him from becoming PM is the fact that Omtzigt thinks Plasterk wronged him when he was leading government talks earlier this year.
    I believe you guys can truly make great videos, but that makes it a bit disappointing that this one just misses so much.

    Prioritise legal work visas out of all of this though.
    Countries should also NEVER be shamed for the amount of refugees they feel they are comfortable integrating.
    Also, better enforcement of deportation. Anyone entering the country signs to agree to integrate and not bitch about local traditions. Of course. You can keep doing your own traditions as long as they’re accepted by the natives as well. But do not complain about local traditions.

Importantly, though, it seems increasingly unlikely that he will be PM at all. He's currently caught up in some questions surrounding his integrity, supposedly having unjustly taken credit for and profited massively from some medical research at a Dutch university.

    The problem with immigration is that the immagrant now have to life outside in tiny tents and there have been cases where babies have died while waiting to even live in the country. We have a lot of work migration, study migration, family reunion migration, people who have lived in the Netherlands and want to go back migration and asylum seekers. The goverment only sees a problem in asylum seekers (but only from non europian country, when ukraine was attacked we welcomed hundreds of ukrainen asylum seekers).
    The double standard is real.
    Asylum seekers are treated awful, living in tiny tents, not having social contact with dutch people to learn the language, living in constant anxiety because they can be refused any time and be send back to maybe a country which still has a fucking war in it.
    I'm curious how the new goverment is going to do, but the Netherlands has become a lot less tolarant towards a lot of people.

      The problem is more so that many are doubtful that they can actually make their agenda a reality, or are sceptic their agenda will actually change anything. For example, I remember the former government's agenda to build 90.000 houses a year and we all know that didn't happen. All this is, is a list of what they'd like to achieve but whether it's realistic and whether they can actually do it is another question.
      There are also many points on the list that involve the EU. And it's doubtful all of those (if any) will be agreed upon. However there will be an EU elections soon which might stir the pot, favourably or otherwise.
      Only time will tell if their agenda was merely a list of empty words.

    Hey TLDR, i know sometimes you're on a timecrunch so mistakes are possible but some of the things you said are very misleading. First and most importantly; Ronald Plasterk is indeed technically a member of the PvdA, however since the days he was minister he shifted very right wing. You can hardly call the guy a centre-left politician, because he definitely isn't.
    Secondly: the reasons for doubt about Plasterk are primarily because of personal feud between Omtzigt and him, but also because he is much more ideological aligned with Wilders then PvdA or NSC.
    Thirdly: something you could have point out about the Dutch housing crisis is that for 3 governments in a row they tried but failed to build those 100.000 houses a year. Yes, the new one will try to do that as well, but it's both not new, and not something they will probably succeed in accomplishing it.
    I'm a fan of you, but the video could have been a lot more informative.
