King Willem-Alexander, Current Events Part 3 (December 2020- present)

[Somebody]

A motion to evaluate the process of cabinet formation (that went horribly wrong so far) was accepted; included is a sentence to consider whether the Head of State could be the desirable 'independent external party' that could fulfil the role of initial 'explorer' of the various options.

The whole lockdown so far only demonstrated (also for all other monarchies b.t.w.) all went blissfully well while the royals were nowhere but behind a camera. Apart from the hiccup about a clumsy depart for Greece, the royals have been pretty invisible and irrelevant, especially for those not reading these boards or watching Blauw Bloed.

Forget any new role for the King in the formation process. The Chamber has taken the reins and nothing will make them giving away the lead. Especially not with D66 as one of the victors of the Election: they were exactly the initiators of removing the unelected head of state out of the formation process (which is a not unlogic opinion in a democratic society, by the way).
