Mission Impossible: Dutch Afghanistan mission expected to face roadblock in Parliament

Political insiders say it is just about certain. The new Mark Rutte Government will have to swallow its first major defeat in the Dutch parliament. No majority vote for a new Dutch mission to Afghanistan.

The Government can however overrule a no vote and still dispatch the mission, but it would not be considered wise to do so, given that also a large majority of the Dutch population is against the mission.
