It would've been the same administration as the one doing the negotiations, so I would assume yes.

In general I think there's a pretty good understanding between the legislative branch and the executive branch. The Netherlands has always had coalitions. Also, every single government will talk to the other parties.

I'm not sure what country you're referring to but the Netherlands has a properly functioning democracy. The only problem it has is splintering into too many small factions making coalitions super hard

I didn't think the Netherlands had one of those.

There are certainly countries that have it worse, but Netherland has some weird political games being played sometimes.
