Why doesn't it make a lot of sense? It requires for companies to have some representation here, probably the have a board of directors and a board of directors is where a retired politician usually goes to after their political career. You wouldn't want to scare the people away that will give you a really well paid job for hardly any work at all, would you?
We're still looking at the same people forming a new government after 10 years so the majority of Dutch people must absolutely love their achievements like the worst housing crisis since the Second World War or capitalism-presented-as-religion shit like this.

For all the Dutchies here who want to learn exactly how this 'politician to corporate advisor pipeline' works, the VPRO docu 'Bankgeheimen van Joris Luyendijk' is great: https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/tegenlicht/kijk/afleveringen/2014-2015/bankgeheimen-joris-luyendijk.html https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/tegenlicht/kijk/afleveringen/...
