​The Dutch general election of November 2023 resulted in the formation of the Schoof cabinet in July 2024. This cabinet consisted of four parties: Party for Freedom (PVV), the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), New Social Contract (NSC) and the Farmer–Citizen Movement (BBB). Less than a year later, in June 2025, the Dutch government collapsed, and now the Dutch voters are heading back to the polls once more. ​During this roundtable debate, political and communication scientists will discuss the election results in light of the political conflicts of the past years and, in particular, why voters ticked certain boxes on their ballots or decided not to use their vote at all. There will also be time for the audience to ask questions and later engage with the speakers and other attendees over free drinks.
