Dutch Government Collapses

Yesterday 19 February, Juche 99, it was announced that the Dutch government collapsed. Prime Minister Jan-Pieter Balkenende announced that the Labour Party (PvdA) were leaving the government after they failed to reach an agreement over continuing participation in the War in Afghanistan. I am pleased to see this grand coalition of the Christian Democrats and Labour to fall apart, especially over this issue. Although, I think the Netherlands entered the Afghan War for the right reasons, it is now time for the war to end. Further participation in this war is interfering in the internal politics of the Islamic Republic. In the upcoming elections, I will support the Socialist Party.
