How should it be done, a minority cabinet? Members of Parliament in Copenhagen and Oslo searching for the answer

A group of Dutch parliamentarians visited Denmark and Norway to learn about minority governments. They discussed the importance of trust among politicians and voters, which is crucial for stable governance. In Denmark, the concept of 'forlig', informal agreements between parties, contributes to political stability. The Dutch delegation considered adopting similar practices to improve collaboration and reduce political tension. They also reflected on the frequency of elections and the potential benefits of less frequent voting cycles, as seen in Norway. The visit highlighted the differences in political culture and practices between the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries.
