The impasse over the formation of a government in the Netherlands is set to end today. The deadline for the negotiating group appointed by parliament to submit its proposal expires at midnight. It is very likely that the four parties involved will come together. These are the far-right PVV of Geert Wilders, the long-standing liberal governing party VVD, led by Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, and the two newcomer parties – the NSC of ex-Christian Democrat Pieter Omtzigt on the one hand and the BBB of farmer activist Caroline van de Plas on the other.
