The VVD are conservative liberals on the centre-right. One of the big three, they are also one of the oldest currently active political parties. Under the leadership of Mark Rutte, they have led all 4 governments from 2010 to 2023. Furthermore, they have been part of 19 out of 31 governments since World War II and all but one government since 1994. It is fair to say they have shaped Dutch politics considerably. Staying mostly true to their roots of free market ideals, they have adapted to populist pressures regarding migration, the environment, and social issues.
