The Second Colijn cabinet was the cabinet of the Netherlands from 26 May 1933 until 31 July 1935. The cabinet was formed by the Roman Catholic State Party (RKSP), the Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP), the Christian Historical Union (CHU), the Liberal State Party (LSP) and the Free-thinking Democratic League (VDB) after the 1933 general election. The centre-right cabinet was a majority government in the House of Representatives. It was the second of five cabinets of Hendrikus Colijn, the Leader of the Anti-Revolutionary Party as Chairman of the Council of Ministers.[1][2][3][4][5]
