The Economist Intelligence Unit's central forecast is that the coalition will serve out the remainder of its term in office, ahead of elections in April 2021. Nevertheless, there is a high risk of an early poll. Since the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010, no government in Curaçao has served a full four-year term, and there is a considerable risk that the current coalition will be undone by internal tension. Its slim majority in the Staten and a high degree of political fragmentation regarding the island's relationship with the Netherlands contribute to this risk. In the 2017 elections the 21 parliamentary seats were contested by 11 parties, of which only seven secured representation. The PAR, MAN and MFK were the only parties to obtain more than two seats.
