Technically the libs did do something this election.

Last time they opened the door to a possible collaboration with the PVV. This in turn caused a lot of (far-)right wing voters to flock to the PVV. This time they joined in ruling out any collaboration with the PVV. 99 out of 150 seats in the Dutch parliament now refuse to work with Wilders. This turned out to be their saving grace too, because a lot of those former PVV voters now went for the liberal right-wing VVD, as they were told it was the "only way to prevent a left-wing cabinet".

So in effect they basically undid their fuckup from last time.
