The 150 seats of the House of Representatives were contested using party-list proportional representation. The People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) received a plurality of the votes, followed by the Labour Party (PvdA). Prior to the election, polls had predicted an increase in support for the Socialist Party, primarily at the expense of the PvdA,Dutch Socialists show major gains ahead of Netherlands elections but the PvdA regained support during the campaign, which was attributed to the leadership of Diederik Samsomhttp://www.lse.co.uk/macroeconomicNews.asp?ArticleCode=ott8rgzyx7oyqom&ArticleHeadline=Subdued_Dutch_Socialist_opens_way_for_proEU_coalition Subdued Dutch Socialist opens way for pro-EU coalition 10 October 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121209174720/http://www.lse.co.uk/macroeconomicNews.asp?ArticleCode=ott8rgzyx7oyqom&ArticleHeadline=Subdued_Dutch_Socialist_opens_way_for_proEU_coalition 9 December 2012 dead and in the election the Socialist Party failed to improve its performance. The Party for Freedom (PVV) and Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) both lost seats.

It is the fourth early election in a row since the Second Kok cabinet fell very near the end of its mandate, which allowed that government to keep the election date to be held as scheduled by the term in May 2002. Early elections were subsequently held in January 2003, November 2006, June 2010 and September 2012. And during that time a total of five governments ended prematurely, as it was possible for the Third Balkenende cabinet (July–November 2006) to be formed without a new election. Participating parties In addition to the established parties of Dutch politics, the pensioners' party 50PLUS, founded in 2009, won its first seats in the election.

formation of a "purple government" of the pro-EU parties: VVD, CDA, D66, PvdA and, possible GL. It also pointed to other potential governing coalition that would include a pro-austerity government with VVD, CDA, D66, GL and CU; or a centre-left government of CDA, D66, GL and PvdA with a minority of seats, but with outside parliamentary support of the SP. The two largest eurosceptic parties, PVV and SP, are reportedly not interested in building a coalition. A similar scenario to the previous election could re-occur, considering no pre-election alliance will receive votes enough for majority, and thus needs to form a new more broad coalition government, comprising at least three parties.http://cib.natixis.com/flushdoc.aspx?id=65695 Dutch elections 2012 – where are we heading?

A final television debate took place on 11 September, with the economy reportedly the most important issue amongst voters. The day before the debate, Rutte said that he would stop delegating ever increasing powers to the European Union saying: "I am 'Mr No' when it comes to a Brussels that's expanding more and more." Conversely, Samsom said that he was in coordination with Hollande over dealing with the economic crisis.http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2012/09/2012911202543310232.html Euro-dominated Dutch polls go down to wire Al Jazeera 4 October 2011 13 September 2012 Support for him and the PvdA grew after he was perceived as having the better performance in the debates.

He also pointed to PVV's Geert Wilders' declining popularity after he was viewed as a political opportunist not looking out for the national interest in effectively forcing a snap election. In citing Wilders' labeling as a "sorcerer's apprentice," he also pointed to a possible first-ever loss of seats for the PVV under Wilder's helm. He attributed this to Wilders' inefficiency in the debates of responding to the other party leaders instead of setting the agenda, instead in one debate he got into an argument with Rutte with both leaders calling each other liars in an unprecedented move.http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2012/09/201291192756398991.html The rise and fall of Geert Wilders?
