The Netherlands heads to the polls

Issued on:

The Netherlands is holding general elections today, but none of the participating parties are expected to secure an absolute majority. The political landscape will be dominated by around six parties ranging from the left to the extreme right. RFI spoke to Kees Aarts, a Dutch political analyst, about the traps of coalition politics, the threat of the extreme right and how immigration ceased to be a major issue in Dutch politics.
