Choices, choices...

The Dutch general elections will be held in two weeks, on 9 June. The elections are held because the Dutch government collapsed at the end of February over the question whether to keep the Dutch troops in Afganistan or not.

Since we live abroad, we already received the voting paper by mail. We have to send it back to the Netherlands before 9 June.

There are 18 parties that are taking part in the elections, of which probably 10 will make into the parliament. The Netherlands always has coalition governments, but this time nobody can predict what the most likely government will be!
