Rutte loog over het vastlopen van de formatie. Hij besloot eigenhandig over rechts te gaan omdat hij geen lastenverzwaring wilde. Midden in de Eurocrisis verkoos hij een gedoogcoalitie met een eenmanspartij waarvan de leider werd vervolgd voor haatzaaien. Waarna hij de lasten met 15 mld verhoogden.
Rutte en Lubbers hadden in 2010 al vroeg een plan B voor het ongewenste Paars-plus
Dat de VVD in 2010 tijdens de formatie van Rutte I weinig trek had in de Paars-plus-variant is bekend. Dat partijleider Mark Rutte actief werkte aan een plan B blijkt uit Het raadsel Rutte, van de jou...

I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising.

Whatever the election result, whatever the coalition formation outcome, two things are always the same in the Netherlands:
(1) immigration will be further tightened.
(2) the next campaign everyone will again call for tighter immifration.

Het is inmiddels duidelijk dat een groepje kapitaal krachtigen bereid is ons democratisch bestel op te blazen om winstmaximalisatie veilig te stellen. De @VVD is niet meer dan een vehikel om dit te bewerkstelligen. Volledig kansloos om met deze partij o.l.v. Yesilgoz een stabiele coalitie te vormen.

Een normaal denkend mens zou zich in een brief aan Koolmees uitputten in excuses over de ontstane onbestuurbaarheid waarin de VVD Nederland heeft gebracht; daarbij aangevend dat men bereid is genadebrood te eten in de formatie.
Nu lees ik dat de VVD vreest voor tijdverlies bij de formatie.
Als er nou één partij is die daar de mond over moet houden dan is het de VVD wel.
Zouden ze echt niet doorhebben hoe belachelijk ze zichzelf maken?

COMMENT: Even in its heyday, “aid” was often (correctly) criticised as too little, too conditional, and too patronising to be the path to African prosperity. But “trade not aid”, a response flung around as the alternative, has underdelivered so far.
‘Trade not aid’ isn’t a panacea
Africa’s trade with the world is falling and its share of foreign direct investment is minuscule.
