Dutch government brought down again

And again.. my country is slowely turning into a so-called banana republic. On the other hand; I am in total disagree with the (now former) government. Hopefully the rural Dutch politics will become stable in the near future. New elections are due to be held in spring 2007

D66, the coalition's smallest member, withdrew its support in a row over Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk. Ms Verdonk had threatened to strip former politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali of her Dutch passport because of false information she gave in 1992. Mr Balkenende said he would tender the government's resignation on Friday. The D66 party pulled its support because Ms Verdonk, known as "Iron Rita" for her tough stance on immigration issues, refused to resign over her treatment of Ms Hirsi Ali.
