The Hague . On Wednesday, the Dutch decide not only on the composition of Parliament, but also about the future EU policy in their country. The right-Liberal Party for freedom and democracy (VVD) of acting Prime Minister mark are Rutte and the social democratic labour party (PvdA) according to surveys almost neck and neck. While the VVD rather supported the austerity of German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the solution to the euro crisis, the PvdA tends rather to a socially absorbing policy such as the French President François hollande with their Spitzenkandidatent Diederik Samsom.
Samson said at his voting in Leiden that voters had "only a day to make the Netherlands stronger and socially responsible". Rutte held against it on Tuesday when the last campaign appearance, the Dutch would have to take a decision of principle: between left solve of the creation of jobs, which would increase the deficit, and the savings approach to Merkel's. 'France is a country of high deficits, high taxes, low growth - and that would be not good for the Netherlands', Rutte said. "The Germans have the same philosophy as we: low debt and jobs."
The right-wing populist Gert Wilders, which caused the early election, in which he said the support of his party for freedom (PVV) in Parliament withdrew, the minority Government of Ruttes in his voting in the Hague: "it is whether we want to remain independent or one of a European superstate are an important day for the Netherlands and a historic day." He campaigned in the election campaign for the withdrawal from EU and euro, vote losses are forecast his party.
Observers expect a difficult form a Government after the election in the face of the expected majority situation. 21 Parties appear in the vote, according to surveys, eleven of them could win seats in the Dutch Parliament.
At the last election of 2010, it took four months for Rutte was sworn in as Prime Minister of a minority Government supported by Wilders party for freedom (PVV). 18 Months later the Government broke apart when Wilders did not support the austerity of the Cabinet.
