#i do not want to see what a 75+ seats vvd would do to this country

One thing I haven't seen Dutch tumblrs talk about yet is how the new cabinet wants to change the way the voting system works, and fast. To be precise:

"Een wetsvoorstel tot invoering van een nieuw kiesstelsel voor de Tweede Kamer ter versterking van de regionale band tussen kiezers en gekozenen wordt dit jaar ingediend, gericht op tijdige inwerkingtreding voor de volgende verkiezingen"

Or in English:

"A bill introducing a new electoral system for the House of Representatives to strengthen the regional link between voters and elected officials will be introduced this year, aimed at coming into force in time for the next election."

Is it just me or does that sound like they want to institute a "winner take it all" system? Like saying, one candidate per district gets chosen, like in the UK (if I recall correctly)?

It sounds like they want to preserve their own power at the cost of democracy itself. Which party is behind this part and what are their intentions? A legal coup?

Like, this gets me scared. If last elections were bad for democracy, then a law change like that would basically put an end to it all together. Is it really a democracy if only two or three parties can get seats?
