PvdA, VVD voters regret 2012 choices

Half of the voters who cast their ballots for the PvdA, and 37 percent who did so for the VVD in September 2012 regret voting the direction they did according to the political barometer published by research bureau Ipsos on Thursday. Most reasons given for regretting the direction of peoples' vote is failure to live up to promises. If there were elections now, the VVD and PvdA would experience big losses. The barometer shows that the D66 is doing very well, earning 27 seats (12 during the last elections). The PVV is also scoring at the top with 24 seats (15 during elections). The barometer used a sample size of 1000 people with the right to vote.
