  • Don't know about if this could legally be done. But in the current setup it is impossible. Only GL-PVDA has enough seats to replace the PVV (or you will need to combine the 5 largest parties after that who all can't work together), and the remaining coalition has less in common with them than the PVV. And again, the PVV is hard lining on immigration, so the only feasible way a renegotiation would succeed if the other coalition members submit to those demands. Commented Jun 6, 2025 at 13:02

    Is this specific to the Netherlands or generally about parliamentary democracies and the Netherlands are just an example? Also by "election" do you mean general election and/or election of parliament or do you mean a vote in parliament? Commented Jun 6, 2025 at 14:44

    @mousetail All political systems are unique (unless they've been recently copied from an existing one) but the precise position of the Cabinet in the Netherlands is definitely not typical. In other systems they are usually derived from the head of government more directly. Commented Jun 6, 2025 at 19:20
  • I don't think you mean "cabinet". A cabinet is a collection of ministers, and they get changed all the time without any thought of an election. I think the word you are looking for is "coalition" - an agreement between two or more parties to form a government. Commented Dec 26, 2025 at 21:39
