Some thirty parties will compete with each other for the favor of Dutch voters on March 15. Because there are only 150 seats in the Dutch Parliament, the largest party will not be able to get much more than 35 to 40 seats. The favorite right now to become the largest party in parliament is Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom (PVV).
A shocking new poll has been released in the Netherlands. According to Kantar Public, PVV has opened a large lead over the second largest party in the polls, the VVD, which is currently part of the governing coalition. This makes Wilders the absolute favorite to succeed current Prime Minister Mark Rutte as the political leader of the country.
According to the Kantar Public poll, the PVV would get 35 seats in the 150-seat Dutch Parliament if elections were held today. By Dutch standards, that's an impressive result. This is especially true because of the significant gap between PVV and the VVD. The party led by current Prime Minister Mark Rutte wold have to settle for a mere 22 seats, 19 fewer seats than they currently occupy.

I think the secretary of defence his stance is that those islands are not China’s. That could be trouble. that’s what happens when a bad president lets things get out of hand over eight years.
Who would have thought this possible even a few short years ago?
And as so many American’s complain about fractured government with our two party system, our own losers mental derangement syndrome would be running 24/7/365 year after year in such a multi-party mess as they have in Netherlands.
You actually get real coalitions of “minorities” running things.
Wilder’s may get the largest %, but still be unable to form a coalition with enough votes in Parliament to actually govern.
“Is this good?”
This is very good, and the libs in Netherlands worst nightmare.
Wilders is their version of Trump.
NL men with testosterone and women that like that kind of man like Wilders.
Who predicted Brexit and Trump? Pendulum IS swinging.
Wilders is their Marine Le Penn.
