	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Elections in the Netherlands
		Yesterday's election in the Netherlands presented no clear winner and the results pose some very new dilemmas.
		The Netherlands uses a system of proportional representation to elect its MPs that is almost guaranteed to produce coalition governments.
		However, the LPF is untested and the power it can attain on the basis of its election results is still down to its MPs and whatever deal it may strike with the Christian Democrats.

		Some analysts viewed the Netherlands election as a barometer for the wider debate on immigration and national identity across Europe - especially as it came so soon after the French presidential election which was also dominated by the issue.
		The Netherlands' largest parties in the old coalition were the centre-left Labour Party, (PvdA), the centre-right Christian Democrat Party (CDA) the Liberal Conservative party (VVD) and the reformist D66 party.
		Political commentators suggest that decades of political stability in both France and the Netherlands has created a political establishment perceived to be out of touch with the views of ordinary people.
