Similar in Sweden, the Sweden Democrats provide a voting bloc for the ruling “center”-right gov, but SD dictates policy and can avoid responsibility for the unpopular stuff.
Yeah that tends to work out very badly for the more centrist parties. Our centrist party d66 (they would call themselves left but lol, lmao. The weird right twitter people who seem to be very pro farmers also think they are left and blame them for everything, the reactions were quite disgusting) has often ruled with the conservative liberal VVD in the past and every time they rule they lose half their voters afterwards. I’m just amazed that is happens over and over.
