After the election, the formation of a new government took 127 days. Both the VVD and the PvdA hoped to have a leading role. VVD talks with the PvdA and other left-wing parties (trying to form a so-called Purple Coalition without Christian parties) broke down; however, Rutte was able to form a right-wing coalition of the VVD and CDA, with the PVV formally making an agreement (gedoogakkoord) to support the government but without holding any cabinet seats. It was the first coalition government not to be led by a Christian democratic or socialist party in 92 years, as well as the first to be led by the VVD. Rutte was sworn in as Prime Minister on 14 October, becoming the first liberal to hold that post since 1918.

The election follows the PvdA's withdrawal in February from the coalition over the contribution of Dutch soldiers to the War in Afghanistan.[3] According to the Dutch constitution new elections had to be held within 83 days.
Debatesedit
The first radio debate was held on 21 May 2010. The first television debate, held on 23 May was, according to instant polls, won by Mark Rutte on 36%, with Job Cohen second on 24%, and Geert Wilders and Jan Peter Balkenende third, on 18%.[4]
Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende stepped down from his position in the CDA and resigned his parliamentary seat on the evening of the election, saying he was taking "political responsibility" for the unsatisfactory election results of his party and that "The voter has spoken, the outcome is clear."[12]

Analysisedit
Some international media speculated that "for the first time in this nation's history, a Jewish man, albeit a secular one, is on the verge of becoming the next prime minister ... Job Cohen, who was until recently the Mayor of Amsterdam, and represents the top of the ticket for the PvdA ... is at the end of a long battle to run the country that began in February when the PvdA backed out of the ruling coalition government because it did not want to send Dutch troops back to Afghanistan."[3]

February 1 The conservative liberal People s Party for Freedom and Democracy VVD led by Mark Rutte won the largest number of seats in the House of Representatives while the social democratic PvdA led by Job Cohen came a narrow second The election was also noted for the rise of the Party for Freedom PVV which came third led by controversial politician Geert Wilders On the other hand Balkenende s Christian Democratic Appeal CDA saw a poor result losing half its seats along with popular support and dropping from first to fourth place The Socialist Party SP also lost seats Notably the 31 seats won by the VVD was its most since 1998 and the one seat margin between the VVD and PvdA is the closest on record 2 2010 Dutch general election 2006 9 June 2010 2010 06 09 2012 All 150 seats in the
