List of Dutch cabinet formations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Dutch cabinet formations. This includes attempts to form or continue with a cabinet after a cabinet crisis.

Expected parliamentary leaders meeting the day after the election to appoint a scout during the 2021–2022 cabinet formation.

In most cases, a cabinet formation is started after a general election after which a majority cabinet is sought. In some cases it results in a minority cabinet. After the fall of a cabinet, a new start can be made with part of the fallen cabinet. Then there may be a rump cabinet, which is also often a minority cabinet.
