This is at the low end of what Wilders was projected to win. But it's just an exit poll, which can be far off also.

exit polls, being polls, have a margin of error (in US election exit polls, the MoE is +3% according to Edison Research) so yea, they can be off.

Hope this is not true. If so you bet sharia will be law of that land soon.

I don’t understand how the poll’s margin of error could possibly be as low as 2 percentage points. It’s based upon only a tiny number of polling stations.

Haven’t we learned yet that people now lie to pollsters? Or that pollsters themselves lie?

Especially when sensitive political and social questions are involved?

I believe that 25% of the Dutch population is composed of ‘immigrants’. I don’t see them recovering from that peacefully. Only about 30% of the country is conservative.

I agree and I posted this.
I did say it was “just an exit poll” and could be way off.

I wanted to get the ball rolling on talking about the election since results are coming in exactly now

I still love going and watching videos of people at her election night party go from excited to suicidal.

It is less relevant than the fact that even if Wilders got 31 it (1) would not secure Wilders a majority in parliament, and (2) nor change the fact that not enough other parties are likely willing to form a coalition-majority with Wilders in parliament, therefor (3) winning “the most” without winning 51% was never going to give Wilders the means to holding the top executive seat in government.

I say that not with having any problem with Wilders. It’s just the facts.

At most it all means that Wilders will continue to be a strong voice to contend with in the Netherlands. Let Rutte stumble too much and Wilders’ party chances could grow.

Sure. Then again some of those parties who insisted they wouldn’t cooperate with him might change their mind.

Some of the rhetoric from the SP is indistinguishable from the things Wilders is saying, for example. They only have around 10 seats though

Wilders had a sane reason to think he might do much better. But the “19” wins seems to come from a portion that adds up to far less than 150.

The good news is that the labor party did poorly enough that the conservative/centrists would have a hard time forming a governing coalition without joining the communists. And I would think it’d be hard to explain in future elections why they deemed communists less extreme than the PVV, especially to needed lesser parties as the Christian Union and Christian Democratic Appeal, which are more conservative.

Refresh my memory, but didn't the exit polls say that The Bitch of Benghazi was going to win last November?
