Mark Rutte said he will not run for a fifth term as the Dutch prime minister. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced on Monday that he won't run for a fifth term in office after handing in the resignation of his cabinet Friday, bringing an end to the country's fragile four-party coalition government. The only answer is the Netherlands," Rutte said in a speech in parliament, according to Reuters. Rutte's announcement comes shortly after he last week said that his four-party coalition government had collapsed over "irreconcilable" differences on immigration policy. The prime minister and his government will remain in post until a new ruling government is chosen.
