the third tuesday in September is a special day in The Netherlands. The government budget for the coming year is presented. After the presentation by the Queen, all gather for a little snack and drink in the House of Parliament.

Main stream media are very useful in these environments, not alone do they offer the Members of Parliament the opportunity to air their view and/or give comments to the budget, it also gives the Dutch population a high quality insight into what is happening that day from various viewpoint.
