Well former minister Teeven is certainly a bit of an oddity since he used to be the leader of the fortuynist offshoot party Leefbaar Nederland. It is not often people make it from the far right to a mainstream party. I'm not sure about all the leadership fights within CDA. Maybe Rutte didn't want that kind of rivalry to exist within his cabinet. One can only speculate. As for Omtzigt not getting more credit he is certainly a popular man these days. Could win the next election.
