: The Second Chamber can hold a vote of no
: confidence. Once that vote wins the minister
: hands in his/her resignation and is
: replaced. All others remain in place for the
: duration of the cabinet. The Second Chamber
: could also hold a vote of no confidence for
: the entire cabinet and the the entire
: cabinet has to go. Depending on the
: sentiments in the Chamber either the sitting
: parties agree to form another coalition that
: can count on support in both Chambers or we
: have new elections.
: If a minister decides to leave for whatever
: reason the replacement is agreed on by the
: coalition parties who generally hold a
: majority in the Second Chamber and the First
: Chamber (= Senate).

: In the Dutch
: government the PM is the chair of the

: So what happens if there is a need for a
: change? Are all the ministers from the
: original cabinet set in place for the
: duration of the parliament? Can the chambers
: (either or both) remove a minister?
