Reply to comment by Inquerion in Dutch Constitution to be amended to ban discrimination based on sexuality or disability by DutchBlob

The current parties may lose a significant amount of seats but it'll not cause a complete change in the way the country is ran. In the Dutch system there are many smaller parties (no party ever has an outright majority) and the extremist parties are still unlikely to have enough combined seats. Being the biggest party really doesn't mean much if no one want to form a coalition with you.

But what if all these minor nazi/populist/eurosceptic parties form a coalition like in Italy? I see that you have at least few of these parties.

They'd fall apart within days, populists are only against things and don't have any actual practical policies they will agree on and continue to agree on.

In Italy they won in September and still rule together. Their government seems quite stable...

They are far right, but not extreme far right though.

Elections are also coming in countries like Spain, where far right Vox is gaining power or Belgium where Vlaams Belang is leading in polls.
