The queen should be confined to a purely ceremonial role and have no active involvement in politics, according to draft legislation drawn up by the anti-Islam PVV and made public on Thursday.

The queen should no longer be part of the government, be involved in the formation of new cabinets or have a seat on the Council of State, the government’s highest advisory body, the party says.
The aim of the draft legislation is to ‘keep the monarchy intact but minimalise the [appearance] of political influence’. The queen would remain head of state because she represents unity, the party said.
Labour
Last month, the Labour party (PvdA) published its own report on reforming the monarchy. It too wants to remove the monarch from the Council of State but does not think it necessary to remove the queen’s membership of the government.
The PVV’s plans are unlikely to become law. Removing the queen’s role in the Council of State requires a change in the constitution and a two-thirds majority in parliament.
But removing the monarch’s role in forming a new government only requires a simple majority and is a more likely option, the Volkskrant says.
