I have read very, very little about Dutch politics in recent years. Today I read that Rutte is even more unpopular among you than the misanthrope Macron.

Whose mother-in-law did this guy kill? What's going on in your country?

Rutte became PM in 2010.

Today, in 2023, he's still PM.

13 years is plenty of time to anger the majority of your constituents in one way or another. Unless you have some sort of religious or cultural support, governments tend to become unpopular over time. And that's not even addressing substantively what happened in NL over the past decade...
