	Netherlands (09/07)
		On February 22, 2007, a new center-left coalition government was sworn in, composed of the center-right Christian Democrats (CDA), Social Democrats (PvdA), and left-of-center orthodox Protestant Christian Union (CU) under CDA Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende.
		The Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) was formed from the merger of the Catholic People's Party and two Protestant parties, the Anti-Revolutionary Party and the Christian-Historical Union.
		On the political spectrum, the CDA sees its philosophy as standing between the "individualism" of the Liberals and the "statism" of the Labor Party.

	Christian Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christian Democrats are usually socially conservative, and, as such, many Christian Democrats are opposed to abortion and same-sex marriage, although some Christian Democratic parties have accepted the legalization of both, within certain limits.
		Christian Democratic parties are often likely to assert the Christian heritage of their country, and to explicitly affirm Christian ethics, rather than adopting a more liberal and secular stance that all religions are to be considered equivalent.
		Christian Democrats in the country have been known for their advocacy of a shift from the present presidential system to a parliamentary form of government through constitutional amendments and through establishing peace talks with Muslim separatists and communist rebels.

		The Christian Democratic party led by Jan Peter Balkenende has won the largest vote in the Dutch general election, confirming a Europe-wide shift towards the centre-right.
		Results announced yesterday gave the Christian Democrats 43 of the 150 seats in parliament, against 23 for the Labour Party.

		The Christian Democratic Appeal is the favourite to win tomorrow's general election, but with its poll lead narrowing in the final hours and a crowded field of parties, there are likely to be protracted coalition negotiations.
		This election was brought forward by the collapse of the Christian Democratic Appeal’s last coalition in June, and is the third contest since 2002.
		The Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) was in trouble as its coalition with the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and Democrats 66 (D66) came unstuck, and as reforms to healthcare insurance and deployment of troops in Afghanistan ran into heavy opposition.
