Only 16% Support Same Coalition After Cabinet Collapse

After 11 months in government, only 14 percent of voters think that the collapsed Schoof I Cabinet has done a good job. Since the fall of the Cabinet, only 16 percent of voters believe it is a good idea for a new government to be created with the same coalition parties—PVV, VVD, NSC, and the BBB—according to a poll of 16.117 shortly after the fall.

Public Opinion And Trust In Politics
Nearly three-quarters (72%) want to see new elections instead. Many vented their frustration about the political instability, where one respondent commented, "What a mess, all them Dutch polly's at the voting booth for 1.5 year of bickering and no results.

But oh well, you've got to do it." Trust in politics has fallen dramatically, especially among right-wing voters. General confidence dropped from 34 to 23 percent.

The density of PVV voters' confidence had in that time plummeted from 37 to 13 percent, for VVD voters the confidence declined from 58 to 38 percent and BBB supporters' confidence had fallen from 39 to 17 percent.

In the poll, the Schoof I Cabinet was awarded a final score of 3.6 by voters, which was even lower than another poll (3.

8). Even supporters of coalition parties rated it poorly, on average 4.4.



Blame and Reactions to Collapse
The majority (60%) of voters hold the PVV responsible for the collapse of the government. The leader of the PVV, Geert Wilders, is coming under fire from a wide range of politicians, who are calling his behavior "childish" and comparable to "a tantruming toddler." More than three-quarters (76 percent) think Wilders and his party should have tried out the present asylum policy before seeking change – a vi.
