Dutch government collapses after Labour withdrawal from coalition
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/feb/20/dutch-coalition-collapse-afghanistan
The Dutch government has collapsed over disagreements on whether or not to extend troop deployment in Afghanistan.
The prime minister, Jan Peter Balkenende, said the Labour party – the second-largest party in his ruling coalition – was quitting.
He tendered his government's resignation to Queen Beatrix, the Dutch ceremonial head of state, in a telephone call.
Balkenende has been weighing up a request from Nato for Dutch troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond 2010.
