Dutch Rightist government resigns

The Dutch government has resigned.

Tomorrow, Prime Minister Balkenende will go to the Queen to announce the end of his Rightist coalition.

The cause was the anti immigrant policies of Minister Rita Verdonk and the Ayaan Hirsi Ali affair.

It is to be hoped the next government will not be slavish Bush followers like Balkenende.
