Talk:Dutch government collapses over Afghanistan troops

Majority?
It says in the text and in the New York Time source: the Christian Democratic Party is left with an unworkable majority in the government. How can a parties majority in government be unworkable? Shouldn't it say that the government is left with an unworkable minority in parlement? Taketa (talk) 11:45, 24 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed, it is, with 47 seats, a minority now. (consisting of the Christian Democratic Party (41 seats) and the ChristianUnion (6 seats)--Woodcutterty (talk) 14:07, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Please change 'unworkable majority' to 'unworkable minority', as has been noted here over four years ago. Woodcutterty (talk) 18:22, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd really like a second opinion on whether this is a non-substantive "typo fix" that can just be done, or a substantive correction requiring correction. --Pi zero (talk) 19:15, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Substantive, but should be done. (NB: I believe the NYTimes has the current record for correcting an 1863 article this year - copyedit corrections 142 years late. -  Amgine | t 22:44, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Corrected. I have, for the moment, not self-sighted the correction.  --Pi zero (talk) 23:30, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
