Jeroen Blokland wrote that according to polls, the VVD was at 12 seats and suspected that the party would not even reach 10 seats in the next elections, partly but not exclusively due to Box 3. According to him, the VVD had become estranged from itself and its voters, whereas it should have been the party that prevented further shifts to the right. He wondered what was happening at the top of the party that led to what he described as a predictable implosion. #VVD #politiek #verkiezingen (translated)
