Decline of the Dutch Liberal Party
The Dutch liberal party, once led by Mark Rutte, is facing a desperate fight for relevance in the national election.
After years in power, the Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) has seen a slump in the polls since the collapse of the Netherlands' Cabinet in June.
- Geert Wilders' far-right Freedom Party (PVV) is projected to remain the largest party.
- The center-left GreenLeft-Labor and liberal D66 parties are within striking distance.
It's not easy being a European liberal.
The liberal VVD risks winning even fewer seats than in the 2023 election, casting doubt on its role in any future government.
