		The purple cabinets Kok I and Kok II based their rule on consensus, consultation and compromise, known as the "poldermodel".
		The formation of the first purple cabinet was very innovative at the time, combining progressive elements of the D66 and the PvdA with conservative elements of the VVD.
		Though the cabinets of Wim Kok have been quite successful in certain areas, after the collapse of purple due to the NIOD (Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie; Dutch Institute for War Documentation) report into the fall of Srebrenica in 1995, politicians of all three parties turned away from the achievements of purple.

		Historically, cabinets are the successors of Privy Councils.
		The notion of the modern cabinet is credited to the reign of George I and George II; both of whom made use of such a system, as they weren't native speakers of the language in which they governed and thus needed a council of advisors to assist them.

		Among D66's conditions for participation in the cabinet were the elected mayor (mayors are currently appointed by the Crown) and a reform of the election system.
		D66 politician Thom de Graaf became cabinet minister for governmental reform and deputy prime minister, and the process to change the constitution to allow for elected mayors was set into motion.
		The Second Chamber of parliament approved of the change in the constitution, possibly because the change is necessary both to have mayors elected by the population (as D66 wants) and by the town council (as the left-wing opposition wants).
