Dutch Government Collapses, New Election to be Held
Imagine the Dutch government as a group of friends working together.
They had a big disagreement, and one friend, the PVV party, decided to leave the group because they couldn't agree on how to handle new people coming to their country.
This caused the whole government to fall apart, so they'll have to vote again to choose a new group of friends to run the country.
Until then, the current leader will keep things going, but they can't make any big decisions.
The new election is likely to happen in a few months.
Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof announced a new election following the coalition government's collapse.
The collapse occurred after the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) withdrew its ministers.
PVV cited disagreements with coalition partners over immigration policy as the reason for the withdrawal.
Prime Minister Schoof will serve in a caretaker role until the new election.
The election is expected to be held in several months.
