  Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Dutch Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives)
In an early election held in 1982, Labour arrived in first place, but CDA formed a center-right coalition government with VVD, which polled strongly in the vote; D'66 was unable to hold on to its 1981 gains and suffered a major setback.
However, after the 1989 general election the ruling coalition's parliamentary majority was reduced to just two seats, and CDA chose to form a center-left coalition with PvdA, with Lubbers remaining as head of government.
Nonetheless, CDA staged a comeback in the 2002 general election, under the leadership of Jan Peter Balkenende.
