Abstract: The Dutch political landscape is notoriously unpredictable; yet, 2023 was the most turbulent year in Dutch politics in at least two decades. The year featured two elections—provincial and national—within nine months, each dominated by two distinct issues: agriculture and migration. These elections saw two different populist parties triumph with significant margins: the FarmerCitizenMovement/ BoerBurgerBeweging won the provincial elections, while the radical right-wing populist Party for Freedom/ Partij voor de Vrijheid secured a landslide victory in the parliamentary elections. Moreover, the year witnessed the collapse of the centre-right cabinet and leadership changes in more than half of the parties represented in parliament.
