The latest polling indicates the biggest swings in the Tweede Kamer would be to the SP and D66 and that the CDA/VVD/PVV parties would all be losers. I don't believe that the SP are particularly anti-EU and D66 certainly aren't. |

Labour's performance is also very poor. I wonder what would happen if the Socialist Party topped the poll? As I understand it, they are a hard-left party. Who needs the CDA when you have VVD, PVV and SGP. The SP are mildly eurosceptic as well. SP/PdVA/D66/GL/CU is possible, for a faith based party the CU is fairly to the left. The headbangers are in the SGP. |

They are also quite anti-immigration

I believe the SGP has only recently accepted female members.

I believe the SGP has only recently accepted female members. Indeed, 2006. They are very, very Calvinist. |

'headbangers' doesn't seem like quite the right term for Calvinists somehow

The Dutch ought to be careful who they vote for. If they get it wrong they could have a Brussels compliant government forced upon them without further ado. I said this as a bit of joke and intended it to end in a wink.....But I'm not so sure that it isn't true! The Dutch do have one advantage over the countries that have had an "EU imposed government". They are net contributors to the EU budget |

Latest polls in seats (changes from previous poll):
Ipsos (18 May)
VVD 31 (-2) SP 27 (-1) PvdA 24 (+2) PVV 21 (+2) CDA 16 (-) D66 15 (-) Greens 5 (-) CU 5 (-1) PvdD 3 (-) SGP 2 (-) 50+ 1 (-)
De Hond (20 May)
VVD 25 (-3) SP 29 (-) PvdA 23 (+3) PVV 23 (+3) D66 17 (-) CDA 15 (-) CU 6 (-) Greens 4 (-3) SGP 3 (-) PvdD 3 (-) Others 2 (-)
Pvda and PVV seem to be gaining from growing public dissatisfaction with the €16bn austerity budget agreed by VVD, CDA, D66, Greens and CU.

There's no majority there at all for anything resembling a sane coalition, not even SP+PvDA+GL+D66. To be fair, the SP have come a long way since their Maoist days. |

The attempt by the labour PvdA to frustrate the rise of the socialist SP had an adverse affect in the latest poll by Maurice de Hond, with the SP rising from 34 to 37 seats and the PvdA falling from 17 to 15 seats.
Last week PvdA chairman Hans Spekman told the AD the SP is not the solution to the crisis and called party leader Emile Roemer 'a great risk'. PvdA MP Mariëtte Hamer said the SP is shifting to her party's ground.
The latest poll shows that 39% of PvdA voters at the time of the last general election in 2010 are now planning to vote SP. 'An unprecedented number that I have never seen before,' said De Hond.
Other parties also continue to lose voters to the SP. Green party GroenLinks has lost 30% of its voters and the anti-immigration PVV 15% to the SP in the latest poll.
The right-wing liberal party VVD, with whom the SP is in a neck-to-neck race, lost one seat, falling from 32 to 31.
