AMSTERDAM - Dutch voters look set to give Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s conservative VVD Party a fresh four-year mandate in a national election on March 15-17 that is widely seen as a referendum on its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
A majority of voters reluctantly support the lockdown, given the Netherlands’ current infection rate of 31 per 100,000 people, towards the high end of Europe’s range. While the government’s coronavirus response has included blunders such as flip-flopping over face masks and a slow vaccine rollout, voters credit Rutte with ensuring enough hospital beds were available through two COVID-19 waves.
Among other major parties, Labour, the Green-Left and the pro-education D-66 parties are vying with the centre-right Christian Democrats for third place. Two or three of these will likely join a new VVD-led coalition.“I don’t feel supported by the party now at the helm and I just don’t know who I will vote for,” said cafe owner Jaap de Vriend in Leiden, who said he had usually supported the VVD.
Idk whether conservative is a good way to describe VVD. Right-liberal or conservative liberal maybe. I don't think there is any Dutch party that claims the label conservative (maybe FvD?).
Far left Rutte is not a conservative😂. Fake news
'Conservatives'
Lol, I think you have misspelled liberals.
Rutte’s party indeed is right wing conservative, especially economically and administrative, and also in moral or environmental issues they prevail their economical interests over progressive choices
You might want to read the meaning of a conservative, he is not conservative in the slightest.
Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about JacksonWilliams0 wealth how he helped investors to earn lot of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
They're left as fuck.
Far extremist left you mean. 😂🖕
conservatives goede morgen
Rutte/VVD are center-right 'progressives' that dont shy away from kissing the heels of megacorporations for tax-excemption while starving the populace of a fair way of living.
They are not, and never have been conservatives. They are (or rather, were) right wing liberals. Currently they are more centrist leaning left.
LoL 😂 I vote for fvdemocratie FVD
“conservatives”
Conservative? 😂
Rutte is far left at this moment (he's flexible in all directions, as long as he can be PM) Conservative is not correct. Who knows, maybe in 4 years he'll go back.
You spelled conservative wrong. Get your facts straight.
Rutte and his party are centre-right liberals.
Keep on dreaming!
How are they conservative?
