Im not gonna argue if it's a coincidence. I live in the Netherlands and it could be related but I personally don't think so. The affaire is pretty serious and we would have an election in March. I personally think they did this to 'pretend' they took responsibility. It's just a phony show for the retarded public.
I think they looked for an excuse to resign and they looked in their bag of tricks to see..."hmm what else have we been doing that we could resign over?"
The fact that they are resigning is alarming. It's made the news. The reason they've given for resigning is questionable. Any other year they could have gotten the MSM to bury the story if they wanted.
They have to resign though but they won't tell the public the truth so they'll go with this.
I agree with you, I don't think this is directly related.
I also agree with the idea that they did this to save face. Basically saying: "We know we screwed up, but we're taking responsibility". Only the election is in a couple months anyway so them stepping down is pretty irrelevant.
