The CDA remained the largest party, but it was forced to co-operate with the PvdA and D66 ( the PPR had left the alliance, after losing the 1977 elections ).

In the 2003 elections, Wouter Bos managed to regain almost all seats lost in the previous election, and the PvdA was once again the second largest party of the Netherlands, only slightly smaller than the CDA.

Instead, the PvdA was kept out of government by the formation of cabinet of the CDA, the VVD, and D66, the latter being former allies of PvdA.

Although he was already in contact with the Livable Netherlands ( LN ) party, he initially also considered running for the CDA or creating his own list.

In the election campaign he made clear the CDA was a centrist party, that would not lean to the left or to the right.

On 11 October 1980, the three original parties ceased to exist and the CDA was founded as a unitary party.

After the 1981 general election, the VVD and the CDA had lost their majority, and the CDA was forced to cooperate with the PvdA.

After the 1982 general election, a CDA / VVD first Lubbers cabinet was supported by a majority in parliament.

Some prominent anti-revolutionaries, like Aantjes did not agree the CDA / VVD cabinet that was formed after the elections, and wanted to continue with the PvdA, however they supported the cabinet politically.

He was appointed by the crown in January 2007 to replace Arend ten Oever ( CDA ), after consultation with the citizens of Ommen.

In March / April 2006, a coalition was formed of VVD, CDA and PvdA / GroenLinks.

In the 1989 election the party won another three seats, making a total of twelve, and it was asked to join the formation talks of a CDA / PvdA / D66 cabinet.

After long formation talks between CDA and PvdA failed, a second Balkenende cabinet was formed, comprising CDA, VVD and D66 parties.

The VVD is currently the senior party in a centre-right minority government coalition together with the Christian Democratic Appeal ( CDA ) under the leadership of VVD party leader Mark Rutte.

When lengthy formation talks between the Social-democrats and Christian-democrats eventually led to a final break between the two parties, the VVD formed cabinet with the Christian Democratic Appeal ( CDA ), with a majority of only two seats.

It entered again cabinet with the CDA under CDA-leader Ruud Lubbers.

The VVD nonetheless entered a cabinet with the CDA and the Pim Fortuyn List ( LPF ).

After very long cabinet formation talks, the Christian Democratic Appeal ( CDA ), itself a new Christian democratic political formation composed of KVP, CHU and ARP, formed government with the VVD, based on a very narrow majority.

After the 1989 general election, the PvdA returned to cabinet together with the CDA.

The LPF formed part of a coalition government with the Christian Democratic Appeal ( CDA ) and the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy ( VVD ), but internal conflicts in the LPF led to the coalition's break-up and fresh elections after a few months.

CDA leader Jan Peter Balkenende had earlier announced that his party would follow a tougher line towards asylum seekers, and he later agreed with much of Fortuyn's criticism of the purple coalition and Holland's multicultural society.

The CDA has 6 ministers in the Cabinet Rutte along with the 6 VVD cabinet ministers.

The unexpected cabinet with the VVD led to split within the newly founded CDA between more progressive and more conservative members.

In 1989 however, although the CDA had won the elections, they were unable to get a majority with their coalition partner, the VVD.

The 1994 elections were fraught with problems for the CDA: personal conflicts between prime minister Lubbers and lijsttrekker Elco Brinkman, a lack of support for the reforms of old age and disability pensions, and the perceived arrogance of the CDA caused a dramatic defeat at the polls.

After the 2006 elections the CDA changed their course radically: they formed a new fourth cabinet Balkenende still led by Balkenende, but now with the social-democratic PvdA and the social-Christian ChristianUnion.

Van Agt entered politics as a member of the Catholic People's Party, which merged with the other two major Christian Democratic parties in 1980 to form the CDA.

The CDA had the support of its smaller coalition partner, the CU ( ChristenUnie ), but the third party in government, PvdA ( Labour ), opposed.

In the 1994 general election, the PvdA and CDA coalition lost its majority in parliament.

The Labour Party ( PvdA ) and People's Party for Freedom and Democracy ( VVD ) saw their largest-ever losses, while the Christian Democratic Appeal ( CDA ) won large gains.

The major political parties are CDA, PvdA, SP and VVD.
