The most surprising result is that it’s going to become very difficult to form a VVD+CDA coalition, and totally impossible without the PVV. If the exit polls are correct all four-party VVD+CDA+[GL or D66 or CU or whatever] combinations go straight out of the window: they just don’t have a majority.

As to VVD+CDA+PVV, they need reinforcements, probably of a christian party, either CU or SGP. That’s possible, I suppose, but not very likely.

PvdA and CDA could form a coalition with help from the SP and either D66 or GL. That’s not very likely, as far as I’m concerned.

So if centre-right doesn’t have a majority, right doesn’t have a majority, and centre-left doesn’t have a majority, that leaves Purple.

Coalitions: Purple

I’ve added the exit polls to the polls page so that we can go through possible and impossible coalitions.
