D66 Celebrates Jubilee, but Own Voters Have Little Confidence in Government's Outcome
D66 is marking its 60th anniversary while leading the Netherlands under Prime Minister Rob Jetten for the first time. However, a RTL Nieuwspanel survey conducted from September 23 to 25, 2026, reveals low voter confidence in the minority cabinet's stability. Only one in five D66 voters believes the government will complete its term, with many expecting it to fall in 2027 or earlier due to budgetary disagreements and lack of parliamentary majority. While 60% of D66 supporters approve of Jetten, majorities among VVD and CDA voters do not. Despite this skepticism, 87% of D66 voters oppose new elections.
