Especially when two of the parties are Christian parties

Frightening thing is that it's the Socialists who have pulled out and the reason being because the Christian Democrats and the Christian Union parties wanted to extend the Dutch troops stay in Afghanistan despite having promised and reiterated a pullout in 2010.

So, for the CDA and CU to get their own way, they'll be looking for right wing alliances to form a new coalition.

That would be pretty bad, especially if my mate ends up worming his hate party into a 4-way coalition....

Apart from that, I don't give much of a s**t since Dutch governments traditionally keep us stable by avoiding any decisions anyway.
