None of the listed parties before the next general election

The Dutch party-list proportional representation system works according to a "vrij mandaat" ("free mandate"). This means that representatives who leave their party after being elected get to keep their seat in parliament. This is sometimes referred to as "zetelroof" ("seat robbery"). It's quite common.

Can you confirm the timeline for this question is until the next general election? (and unrelated to the status of the cabinet?)

@EvdZ correct

Hmm, your question doesn't specify lower house or upper house, first or second chamber.

@Sqeedee the reference to the general elections of 2023 suggests the Tweede Kamer/Second Chamber/lower house of the Parliament. I think that's a fair assumption but would still appreciate confirmation by @jskf

@Sqeedee second chamber
