Will Mark Rutte's Liberal-Globalist Cabinet Survive?

Results from a recent opinion poll reveal that the trust levels in Mark Rutte's liberal-globalist cabinet have hit a record low in the Netherlands. The survey, conducted by the news outlet EenVandaag, found that only 17% of Dutch citizens expressed confidence in Prime Minister Rutte's cabinet. This continues a trend in which the ruling coalition has failed to gain more than 20% of the population's trust this year.

Dutch MP Simone Kerseboom (FvD), reacting to the poll results, argued that the government is losing its grip on the people. Kerseboom stated, "The facade is crumbling and the majority of people in the Netherlands are no longer fooled by the mainstream press, which continues to serve as an extension of our government." She cited various crises, such as the child allowance affair, the nitrogen crisis, the climate policy crisis, the immigration crisis, and the housing crisis, as contributing factors to the declining trust in the government.

With such low trust levels, MP Kerseboom called for Mark Rutte's government to step down, stating that it is no longer representative of the Dutch population. These results pose a significant challenge for the current ruling coalition as they struggle to regain the trust and support of the Dutch people.
