@georgepotter I'm a huge fan of proportional representation and I think first past the post sucks.

But the experience from the last ten years says that just like the center faction in the Republican Party caved to the fascist faction, so the center-right bloc in the multi-party Dutch system will cave to the largest party that is "at least not the Left", just like they did in Sweden. If not this time then next time, after a few years of parliamental uncertainty.

There will be a lot of symbolic resistance which in the end will amount to nothing, just like within the GOP in 2016.
