BoerBurgerMovement larger than CDA in poll

11 April 2022 - Linda van Eekeres

The BoerBurgerMovement (BBB) ​​continues to rise in the poll of Maurice the Dog† For the first time, Caroline van der Plas's party has 10 seats. That is 9 more than the party is now represented in the House of Representatives. When elections are held now, BBB will become bigger than the CDA.

The CDA has 8 seats in the poll, a loss of 7. The loss of the CDA mainly goes to BBB (2) and JA21 (2). BBB wins seats from all parties, except PvdA, D66 and GroenLinks. JA21 wins seats from VVD, CDA and PVV. Of the people who voted for the CDA in the last parliamentary elections, most voters can be found who do not know who they would vote for now. 

The seats that VVD loses in the poll (8) mainly go to JA21 (4) and BBB (2). VVD and D66 voters also often indicate that they currently do not know who to vote for. Compared to the poll a week ago, BBB wins 1 seat, just like the VVD. Those seats will be taken off at JA21 and CDA. The CDA has fallen 1 seat again compared to the previous poll.

Order of 3 largest parties does not change
The order of the three largest parties does not change, but they do sacrifice considerably. VVD remains the largest, but in this poll with 26 seats instead of the 34 with which the party is represented in the House. D66 follows with 18, a loss of 6 seats. The loss of D66 mainly goes to PvdA, GroenLinks and Volt. PVV gets 14 seats in the poll instead of 17, a difference of 3. 

GroenLinks gains 4 more seats in the poll and then comes out at 12. PvdA is with 11 seats on 2 seats gain. The Party for the Animals is also on the rise and would gain 2 more seats (to a total of 8). ChristenUnie wins 2 seats and is in the poll at 7 pieces. SP is also on 7, but loses 2 seats. Forum for Democracy is halved in the poll to 4 seats. The further distribution of seats in the poll: Volt 4 (+1), SGP 4 (+1), BVNL 1 (+1). Remaining on the same number of seats as in the House of Representatives: Think (3), BIJ1 (1) and 50PLUS (1).
