So you're saying it must be an insult for Kevin to be mistaken for me?

NOW I'm insulted!

The elections had quite an interesting outcome:

CDA (christian democrats) 41 seats
PvdA (labour) 33 seats
SP (socialists) 25 seats
VVD (liberals) 22 seats
PvdV (nationalist liberals) 9 seats
GroenLinks (green party) 7 seats
ChristenUnie (relatively progressive orthodox protestants) 6 seats
D66 (progressive social-liberals) 3 seats
PvdD (animal party) 2 seats
SGP (conservative orthodox protestants) 2 seats
others no seats

So what this means:
- The only party that is pretty much certain of making the coalition is the CDA
- The PvdA only wants to join them in a coalition if the SP can join it as well
- CDA doesn't get along very well with the left (= PvdA, SP, GroenLinks)
- A right coalition is not an option because nobody wants too work with the PvdV (too radical) and on their own the CDA and VVD can never get a majority and of course none of the left parties will help them out here
- So unless the CDA is willing to make some serious compromises with the left they will never be able to come up with a stable coalition

Another prediction: CDA-PvdA-PvdD!

Would've been impossible a few hours ago, but today after a recount the SP lost one seat and the PvdA gained one.
