Totals

... Who's inserting the data into the polling section? That definitely adds up to more than 100% — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.216.185.176 (talk) 20:22, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

The numbers in the first table are seats, of which there are 150, not percentages. For the percentages, see the Percentages section. Luxorr (talk) 20:34, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Polling organizations

These are the polling organizations:

1. De stemming(Een vandaag) http://destemming.eenvandaag.nl/ 2. Peil (Maurice de Hond) https://www.noties.nl/peil.nl/ 3. tns-nipo (TNS) http://www.tns-nipo.com/default.aspx/ 4. Politieke Barometer (Ipsos) http://www.ipsos-nederland.nl/content.asp?targetid=621

you also have Peilingwijzer (NOS) http://nos.nl/dossier/606102-peilingwijzer/ These makes an average of the 4 above.81.58.144.30 (talk) 14:43, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Infobox

Wouldn't it make sense to use Template:Infobox legislative election here rather than listing 9 parties and saying in the article that there are two more?Øln (talk) 12:10, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Adding new parties

Should we add the Pirate Party of the Netherlands and VNL?83.80.208.22 (talk) 12:59, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

It depends how they are polling. If they are consistently polling as if they were going to win seats, then yes. However, the other columns in the table would need narrowing to avoid making it too wide (although there appears to be plenty of scope for doing that). Number 57 13:04, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
VNL: 2 seats in the polls94.211.104.84 (talk) 10:10, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
But only in Peil. And straight zeroes in TNS-NIPO, IPSOS and Stemming polls makes it far from consistent. At this moment we only list parties with representation in the lower house. Let's stick with that unless there is a major turnover in the making (I am thinking at least about consistently scoring 5 seats (~3% popular vote)). Arnoutf (talk) 19:14, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Date

Why is next election scheduled for 2017 instead of 2016 ? The maximum sitting of parliament is only 4 years (counting from 2012).

The last election was an early election, held in october, thus the 4-year period gets stretched a little to have the next election in early spring, where it belongs. DaLeBu (talk) 12:11, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
