BBB biggest senate party, GL and PvdA can give govโ€™t a majority

As expected, the pro-farmers BBB is now the biggest party in the senate, or upper house of parliament, following Tuesdayโ€™s vote by provincial councillors and representatives of Dutch nationals outside the Netherlands.

The results mean the cabinet needs to find the support of opposition party senators to ensure more controversial policies can complete the parliamentary process.

In total, the four cabinet parties control 24 seats in the 75-seat upper house of parliament. This means that the 14 seats won by the combined PvdA/GroenLinks grouping are enough to pass legislation such as measures to combat nitrogen pollution. moar picrelโ€ฆ
