I read somewhere that the Dutch often produce surprising election results. The surprise this time was not which party(s) were winning and which were losing, but more the extent. Now I won't go into a full analysis here, but the two parties of which I mentioned in my previous post that they would be the biggest two indeed produced that result, but more extreme than expected: with 41 seats for the (blue) one and 39 for the other (red), it seems that a 'purple' government is unavoidable. But how these two extremes are going to be married with a stable government as a result is a big question. Lots of water, not so much wine. Glad it's not my job!
Back to boating: the weather was not that nice today and as we have shore power, free Internet and a nice village on the doorstep, we decided to stay in Langweer for another day. Tomorrow promises something a bit better and we plan to move on and find a place 'in the wild'.
