00:00 Some last minute campaigning. One party has dominated the Dutch elections. New social
00:07 contract. Peter Onsiert started the new party this summer. The veteran MP who gained prominence
00:15 while exposing the child benefit scandal could become prime minister.
00:25 I'm actually, myself, I'm very surprised about the speed at which all this is going. I mean,
00:30 you're looking at a party which had five members three weeks ago.
00:35 His party champions constitutional reform and bringing down the cost of living. The main
00:41 draw however is Onsiert himself.
00:44 I have a lot of confidence in Peter Onsiert and his ideas. I hope he can bring about the
00:51 necessary change. He's just a very friendly, nice man. He's really interested in the other
00:58 people.
01:02 Polls predict that any winner will have to form a coalition, which means compromise.
01:07 It will be a question of working together with other parties. It will be a question of sending
01:16 a little bit of the money, while he promises a 180 degree turn. No government can do that.
01:23 He will have to disappoint people who hope that everything will change.
01:31 A record 26 parties are running.
01:36 With just two days to go it's a very tight race here. Polls show that whatever happens
01:42 Peter Onsiert and his new social contract will be a force to be reckoned with in Dutch
01:46 politics over the next four years. Both the left and the right will need him to form a
01:51 coalition.
