Fragmented Chamber leads to third term for small Christian party

Three months after the elections, the Dutch Prime Minister Rutte has no prospect of a fourth cabinet. The investigator is having talks for a new coalition continually, but there is no breakthrough.

Almost five months after the elections on March 17th, there is no prospect of a new government in the Netherlands. For a couple of weeks, it is utterly silent around the formation.
