This feels a bit surreal. After all of the scandals over the past few years, I hadn't expected this to be the breaking point. I think it'll be good for the Netherlands to get a soft reboot of politics. Most of the country was very much fed up with Rutte.

Not sure where we'll go from here. I hope GroenLinks and PvdA together can gather lots of support. If not...

I, for one, welcome our new BBB overlords.
