Gaia Man predicted this !!!!!
Excellent!
Quoting: UK Coward 250086 I gave it a year.
If they resign Monday, and they don't have much of a choice, it'll have been 558 days.
So they actually lasted longer.
WIZARDPrime minister Monday to the queen to resign the cabinet.
Quoting: Searchalot Why the fuck do you still have a queen??? Hang that bitch already!
Said the Canadian...
TRUE, BUT THAT DOESN't ANSWER THE 'WHY'.We don't have a death penalty. We're civilized like that.
The only relevant party that wants to retire the monarchy is the Socialist Party.

]NOT TRUE, EVER HEARD OF D'66?Most people seem to be attached to the pomp and circumstance.
That's what it mostly is anyway.
AH, THE FALSE ROMANCE YOU SAY? I THINK YOU HAVE TO RE-READ YOUR SHAKESPEARE[/b]
If you analyse the Dutch constitution you'll find that the Netherlands is a de facto parliamentary dictatorship. All it takes to do pretty much everything is a 2/3 majority.
The queen doesn't have much to do with it.
YES, SHE DOES, SHE SIGNS EVERY LAW IN ORDER AND APPOINTS EVERY CIVIL SERVANT OF IMPORTANCE OR MILITARY OFFICER. THAT MAKES HER DE FACTO THE RULING ENTITYI thought democracies were supposed to be a good thing.
It looks like a fail.
Quoting: Nereia 1268863 Government loses majority. Government goes home.
Isn't that how it is supposed to work.
Unlike Britain in the Netherlands you actually need a majority of the popular vote to get a majority in parliament.
In Britain pretty much all governments have been minority governments.
KEEP DREAMING. WE'VE HAD PARTIES THAT HAD WON THE ELECTION, BUT CHOOSE TO BE THE OPPOSITION. WHAT 'POPULAR VOTE' IS THAT?If not enough people vote, if I remember well at least 15% need to go, there will be no more government and the power will fall back into the peoples hands.
Quoting: Dutch Coward 14566537 Fantasize much?
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE ONE VOTE, BUT ABOUT THE SUM OF VOTES. IF 'ALL" PEOPLE DECIDE TO NON-VOTE THERE WILL BE A CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEM. SO, IT'S NOT FANTASIZING AT ALLIf you dont vote your vote will go to the biggest party and that party is been voted by our oldies.
Quoting: Even Anders This is also incorrect.
Only votes are counted. You get a seat for every 2/3% percent of the popular vote you receive.
You might be confused about the method used to allocate remainder-seats.
I see that a lot.

Non-voters quite literally don't count. Nobody cares what they want.
voting will suck again. Politicians are only there to serve themselves wheter they are right or left it makes no f*cking difference. They just have different ways to screw us over and destroying the country.
Quoting: Dutch Coward 1987571 Then start you own party.
Sitting on your ass complaining will achieve absolutely nothing.
