The outgoing vice-president of the Council of State, Thom de Graaf, has advocated for an end to frequent snap elections in the Netherlands. He argues that the country should adopt a system similar to Denmark, where the parliament serves a full four-year term, even if a governing coalition collapses, followed by a reformation process. De Graaf believes the current cycle of frequent elections hinders long-term policy development and prevents parliamentarians from gaining experience. He questions the wisdom of continuing a practice that leads to rapidly changing majorities and voter preferences. The proposal was supported by Klaver of Progressief Nederland, who also noted that parties sometimes favor early elections based on favorable polling data. The discussion aims to strengthen political stability by limiting elections to once every four years, mirroring the system used at provincial and municipal levels.
