The Christian Democrats are to organise an congress to decide if the party should join a coalition government with the VVD Liberals and anti-Islam PVV, acting party chairman Henk Bleker said on Wednesday.

There is great unease within the party about joining a new coalition government, partly because of the CDA’s poor performance in last week’s general election, but partly because of the PVV’s policies.
The CDA’s vote almost halved.
‘The party wants to be involved with this sort of decision and members want to be able to say yes or no at crucial moments,’ Bleker is quoted as saying by the Telegraaf.
This is the first time the CDA will have asked members to vote on such an important issue, the Telegraaf says in its coverage of the news.
In the meantime, the CDA’s parliamentary leader Maxime Verhagen has been given the green light to join the talks, currently ongoing between the PVV and VVD.
