List leader of the BoerBurgerBeweging (BBB), Caroline van der Plas, joined Yves at the table. The farmer frontwoman founded her party in 2019 and secured one seat in the House of Representatives earlier this year. She was recently mocked during a debate by Hugo de Jonge and Mark Rutte, who called her party "tripple-B": "That's two rotten boys in the sandbox who want to push out the new girl at school, and we're not going to do that! She called Rutte to the carpet afterwards and demanded a public apology: "I'm not saying you're a jerk, but I'm saying you should apologize." He obeyed and apologized during the next debate. About his position as prime minister, she is clear: "He made quite a few mistakes and lied. I don't think you can be prime minister then and he should have resigned much earlier".
