Annoying that many options are described as a negative, very confusing.

@TheWabiSabi Presumably you mean combat troops or peacekeeping troops, as opposed to trainers, advisors, cyberwarfare troops or soldiers escorting dutch arms shipments, which may already be in the country.

@Sqeedee yes, thank you for helping making it more clear.

@TheWabiSabi does this count?

@TheWabiSabi of nobody is against Yes I will resolve yes tomorrow @traders

@TheWabiSabi Pretty cool that someone put this on the list! Well done. I wouldn't have thought of it.

@TheWabiSabi The Instagram link seems to have died, but I watched the thing on YouTube. I have an interest in saying yes but I don't think I saw tears? More like he got 'stuck'?

@TheWabiSabi tough call. i haven't bet on this question, and i won't. But i would say NO, this isn't crying. he's barely holding it in, though.

@Sqeedee Agree, but what is a cry... just wet eyes? Or waterfalls on his face?

It's definitely a hard one...

@uair01 Thank you :)

@TheWabiSabi Maybe we can look at it somewhat objectively by looking at how media is responding to it, if they are using words like 'emotional' (geëmotioneerd).

Or we can compare it to similar recent moments of politicians crying:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0XT5We-qes

maybe that last one is also questionable.

I guess you can resolve it as yes.

I suspect we'll see Omtzigt cry some more anyway before the cabinet falls.

@Sqeedee if I was Omtzigt, I would have called it crying. But for me having wet eyes in a cinema is crying as well.

I will resolve yes later today, because of how the media percieved is.

@TheWabiSabi Well, anyone got any photographs?

Or can we resolve this to no?

@Sqeedee I think we can resolve no, did a search and couldn't find any as well

@TheWabiSabi resolving this seems kind of premature? Omtzigt could still take a leave longer than 3 months? (Although I agree this leave was not longer than 3 months)

@EvdZ agree that this could be formulated better. If Omtzigt gets ill again I will unresolve this one, does that feel right?

@traders who has betting ideas to add?

@MarnixVreugdenhil good one. Coin toss for me.

Both directions are counted, since the responsible minister also counts both ways in his statements. His plans are to make 133 km of roads (counting both directions) permanently 130 km/h.

@traders who has suggestions for more options to add here?

I haven't seen any negative tweets by Wilders. Has anyone else? If not, I'd say we can resolve NO.

@MarnixVreugdenhil agree!

@TheWabiSabi For clarity on this market. Omtzigt's leave of absence was announced on september 11: https://www.nu.nl/politiek/6327802/nsc-leider-omtzigt-doet-tijdelijk-stap-terug-om-gezondheidsredenen.html
Does that mean this market will resolve to YES if he is still on leave on october 11?
of if he takes a leave of absence longer than a month at a later date?

@Sqeedee yes if he is still at home on October 11th, stays unresolved otherwise and No at the end of this cabinet if he returns before October 11th.
