With regard to the past, well, my entire Dutch life, we have never had a one party government. We did once have 2 party coalition which was the VVD, right wing liberal pro market and the PvdA, left wing working class party like Labour used to be. The last 3 coalitions have been, in chronological order, 5, 4 and 4 party coalitions. The last 2 have have featured the VVD as the largest party. D66 a centrist party that seems to float between slightly left or slightly right of centre, CDA Christian democrat Alliance, a right of centre party and the CU, Christian Union are religiously and politically right but happy to accept leftist policies that look like good ideas. Ethically they are extremely CONSERVATIVE.
