On the day of the Dutch national elections Austrians Europe correspondent Ernst Kernmeyer covers the vote and the outcome itself. Since the Dutch vote with the red pencil, it takes till 3 o'clock at night before it is definite that the liberal party VVD won again. At 21.00 hours a huge surprise came out of the first exit polls. The large amount of floating voters finally decided to vote on the liberals and the social democrats. For the first time in years the VVD and the PvdA end up with around 40 seats and it gets clear that these two parties will have to form a new government. It also gets clear that the outcome is very pro-European. The populists are pushed back to the political outsides of the political spectrum again.
