Dear Phil

 

In case you are interested in the breakdown.

 

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 J
