Now let's just hope no one will ever again claim to be open to forming a coalition with these xenophobic populist moron clowns (yes I'm looking at you Yesilgöz)

She was avoiding saying she would rule out forming a coalition with Wilders, saying it's 'too soon' and she was too angry.

However she instantly rejects a coalition with the Socialist Democrats.

Which is insane and no voter should fall for that bullshit, yet no-one seems keen on punishing het party that has made things worse since 2010.

Rutte-I, anyone? This isn't the first time. Last time we had a properly left-dominated cabinet (and even then, it was with the back then centrist CDA) was in 1972-1977.
