In the tax plan debate, it becomes clear that the coalition hopes to save itself with a desperate measure: divided voting is no longer taboo.

The coalition of D66, VVD, and CDA struggles to reach a consensus on the Tax Plan, leading to a potential split in voting. This situation reflects a deeper fragmentation within the coalition, which may resort to divided voting as a last resort to secure a majority. The Tax Plan, crucial for the government's revenue, lacks support due to disagreements on collaboration with opposition parties. Pro and Volt proposed amendments to reduce income tax, which could garner support if accepted. However, the VVD remains hesitant to align with leftist proposals, complicating the path to a majority. The coalition's reliance on external support, including controversial figures, raises questions about its stability and future.
