    NSC had a guy who was tired of lobbying, tired of opacity of government and tired of political games. He is a dude who always had thorough knowledge of dossiers, who went the smart route.

    But the PVV are populist blowhards who rely on bashing refugees (not immigrants, the Netherlands relies on immigrants too much) and their skewed statements about the economical costs resonated with voters who give up reading any document after a word with more than two syllables.

    So the NSC had to basically water down everything the PVV wanted to do and had no time for any of their own points. Plus you had the VVD and the BBB in there, who are respectively for rich folks and farmers.

    This cabinet was always doomed to fail and if the Dutch can’t meet somewhere in the middle and keep splitting the vote between far right and far left, this will keep happening until America invades and we become an overseas colony.
