Even before the enlargement of the room up to 150 seats in 1956 the PvdA Caucus was never been so small. The intended successor of Cook, Ad Melkert, entered the day after the elections as party leader and left a few months later from the second Room.

The loss went this time accompanied by an unprecedented large profit for the SP. Although projections indicated that the labour party a few months earlier it would take 50 to 55 seats, came out on the party 33 seats. With CDA and Christenunie formed the Labour Party then the fourth Cabinet Balkenende. Then came the party in a crisis, taking on 25 april 2007 first Chairman Michiel van Hulten because of a difference of opinion on a report that the election defeat was analyzed. Also the whole Board off thereafter. Former Party Chairman Ruud Koole acted as interim President. In september 2007, Lilianne Ploumen in a members consultation as new President chosen.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">At the Dutch general election, 2010 the PvdA obtained 30 seats. Previously, Wouter Bos off to spend more time with his family and moved forward as leader Job Cohen . He was the only candidate and as such was elected lijsttrekker. The labour party rose in the polls by about 20 seats under forest to 34 seats under Cohen. Cohen was a time long even the favorite premierskandidaat of all lists. When Cohen showed in a few debates in the economic field weaker than expected, however, the opinion shifted, because the economy was an important point in the campaign. Nevertheless, the party continued to do relatively well in the polls. The Labour Party, however, was not the largest party; This became the Mark Rutte's VVD, with 31 seats. When negotiations for a legal Cabinet failed, was the possibility of a purple-plus cabinet (consisting of the ' old ' purple parties VVD, PvdA and D66 complemented by green left) examined. This attempt also stranded by multiple disagreements. Rutte and Cohen concluded both that the disagreements were too large. An attempt at a center-right cabinet consisting of VVD and CDA with tolerance of the PVV was examined and didn't work either. It followed the cabinet Rutte I, after which the labour party became the largest opposition party. ===2012-present<span class="mw-editsection" len="351" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Job Cohen performed on 20 February 2012 off as party leader and leader of the Dutch Labour Party.
