AMSTERDAM, July 10 (Reuters) - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte faces a no confidence vote in parliament on Monday which could end his run as the longest serving government leader in Dutch history, three days after he abruptly handed in the resignation of his fourth administration. Normally a no confidence vote wouldn't threaten Rutte, as he could count on the support of his four-party majority government. The leader of the liberal D66, the second-largest party after Rutte's conservative VVD, said the prime minister had behaved "irresponsibly", while the Christian Democrat CDA called him "reckless". Coalition partners have not made clear if they will support the no confidence vote during the debate, scheduled to start at 0815 GMT. Rutte, 56, became prime minister in 2010 and is the longest serving government leader in the EU after Hungary's Viktor Orban.
