Currently all party leaders have had a meeting with the Queen, and as the VVD is the largest party they will be asked to form a government. As is customary, the VVD leader has asked the Queen to appoint a VVD-sympathetic 'informateur', ie someone who will not do the forming of the government, but who will discuss possibilities for a coalition with the party leaders. His briefing is first to try VVD - PVV - CDA, ie centre - right; secondly some form of centre - left, eg VVD, Gr/L, D66, or otherwise really purple - VVD-PvdA - but no one really beielevs in that which is probably why it will happen in the end :) Prof. dr.
