It's voting time...for the Dutch

Just after the United States presidential election in 2008, I wrote a post about some of the basic differences between the American & Dutch political systems. Today being the big election day here in the Netherlands (because, if you didn't hear, the government collapsed in February), I thought it would be good to dig up that archive.

Also, take some time to read the blog "Clogs and Tulips: An American in Holland", which has two great posts about the elections called Dutch Elections 2010 and Dutch Government for Dummies. Good stuff!
