...colour me cynical if you wish, but with the background of the prime instigator (previously in coalition, but currently in opposition) resigning, the country all but shut down, the election only 8 weeks away (I believe parliament was in any case imminently to be dissolved in preparation) and a lead in the polls for Rutte that means he is likely to lead the next coalition Government anyway, it looks at best a gesture, and at worst cynical politicking.
If he (and the rest of the cabinet) announced they weren't going to stand for re-election, then it would be a rather different picture.
Valid use of "politicians" and "integrity" in the same sentence without the addition of "lack of", though not always impossible, certainly requires a bit of research first.
