PVV: 14% - 23 seats (currently 20 seats)
FVD: 2.5% - 4 seats (currently 2 seats)
A government needs 76 seats to govern.
Give or take, these parties appeal to about 20% of the electorate.

On March 17, the Netherlands will have general elections.
Two parties - PVV & FVD - want a Nexit, a departure from the EU, in line with Brexit.
As the reality of the EU-UK trade agreement kicks in, let's take a look at what these parties

"Intelligent" Nexit. Lots of nodding
But FVD doesn't want to leave the EU, they want an end to the EU.
/3
And EFTA should be the basis for the new model.
/4
If you want to join EFTA, sure, make the case.
But be truthful about what it means.
The FVD decides to disregard the EEA agreement, which governs trade between the EFTA-4 and the EU27, and the EU rules and regs that EFTA countries follow.
/5
It also thinks NL won't be in the EU-26's regulatory orbit, ...because EFTA countries aren't???🤦♂️
/6
Safe to say, this is not an "intelligent Nexit" but a "unicorn Nexit".
Here's the text: https://t.co/dGDNw3aajw
Unfortunately, people might actually fall for this.
Anyway, on to the PVV.
/7
They want to leave the EU because:
- EU fisheries policy
- unelected Eurocrats/ politically corrupt
- no control of our borders
- "we want control over our own money, migration policy & laws"
I see a theme!🧐
/8
And there you have it, in the party programme the PVV writes: "What the Brits can do, we can do too!"
/9
It's all about the sovereignty, baby.
