Dutch withdrawal from the European Union

Nexit (a portmanteau of "Netherlands" and "exit") is the hypothetical withdrawal of the Netherlands from the European Union.[1] The most recent opinion poll on the subject, in January 2020, showed a 33% minority favouring withdrawal.[2]

Political initiatives

Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte called the possibility of a referendum "utterly irresponsible" and dangerous to the country.[1] Political parties that are Hard Eurosceptic or calling for a referendum on European Union membership are the right-wing populist[3][4] Party for Freedom and Forum for Democracy.[5][6]

Polling

A poll in the Netherlands by the Pew Research Center in June 2016, conducted before the British referendum which led to the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, found 51% of the Dutch respondents to have a positive view of the European Union and 46% a negative view.[18] Another poll by peil.nl in the aftermath of the 2016 British referendum found 50% of the respondents to be against a similar referendum in their country, with 46% of those in favour of remaining in the EU compared to 43% overall against remaining.[1]
