The Dutch are disenchanted with politics. At J.H. Van Dijk's cheese stall in Amsterdam's main street market customers are fed up with all those politicians and their confusing parties. Dutch discontent dates back to well before the euro crisis. The polls predict that the largest party will be the liberal VVD, with about 35 seats--41 short of a majority. The once-proud Dutch record of coalition government has become increasingly threadbare. It takes months to form new governments. A succession of short-lived, inflexible administrations has tended to tussle over small, unambitious programmes. Most Dutch remain instinctively pro-European. There is no popular call to leave Europe or the single currency. Yet many Dutch resent the idea that Europe might interfere with their health care and pensions. They no longer assume that dealmaking in Brussels is fair and do not trust their own politicians to sort out the mess.
