The polls have closed, and Dutch TV has just shown the usual exit polls. The numbers are in terms of seats in parliament, and 76 seats are needed for a majority. In parentheses is the number of seats in the previous parliament.

CDA: 43 (43)
LPF: 8 (26)
VVD: 25 (24)
Labor: 42(23)
GreenLeft: 9 (10)
SP: 11 (9)
D'66: 6 (7)
CU: 4 (4)
SGP: 2 (2)
LN: 0 (2)

So it's a very close race for top spot here, and looks like a disappointing result for the VVD who had been expected to win more. There's nowhere near a majority for CDA-VVD, but with the LPF they might scrape through to a majority of 76. A long night ahead, and it's not at all clear what kind of coalition we'll end up with. Whatever happens, the CDA is likely to be part of any new government though.
