Title EU relieved by Dutch election result Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Financial Times Media type Print Country/Territory Netherlands Date 13/09/12 Description Andre Krouwel, the political scientis who runs the Political Barometer polling website, said: “It is not a return to the centre.” Both the Liberals and Labour had moved farther apart to defend themselves against challengers on the fringes, he said, leaving right and left as much divided as ever.
The strong performances by the Liberals and Labour were driven by tactical voting, where what started as a fractured electorate coalesced around the two parties with a realistic chance of taking the premiership.URL https://www.ft.com/content/543631a8-fdbf-11e1-9901-00144feabdc0 Persons André Krouwel
