The Supplementary Vote (SV) was invented as a compromise between the two-round runoff system and the alternative vote. This paper shows that in many ways it is not. Under SV voters rank order a limited number of candidates. If one candidate is supported by over 50% of the voters he/she is declared the winner. Otherwise, all but the top two candidates are eliminated from the contest. Then, all second preferences of voters are taken into account. The candidate winning most first and second votes is declared the winner. SV violates fundamental criteria used to evaluate electoral systems and is difficult for voters. The paper discusses an alternative to SV which avoids at least some of its most apparent flaws. [Copyright 2008 Elsevier Ltd.]

On February 20, 2010, the fourth government coalition of the Netherlands headed by Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende (Christian Democratic Appeal, CDA) offered its resignation to the Queen, paving the way for an early election on June 9. Balkenende-IV was the fourth government coalition in a row that did not complete its parliamentary term. The direct cause of its fall was an escalating conflict between the main coalition parties about the end of the Dutch military participation in the International Security Assistance Force mission in Afghanistan. Also divisive were reactions to the global financial crisis. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]
