IMHO, It is possible that Geert Wilder's party might win the plurality of the multi party elections. However, it will NOT be enough to form a government.

And here's where the problem comes in --- He will need to form a coalition.

All other parties have vowed NOT to form a coalition with his party.

This means that Mark Rutte ( whose party could come second ) will form a coalition with a few other parties and as a result, he remains the Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

In other words, after the smoke clears, Expect the STATUS QUO

That's the way I see how things will play out.

This big-hearted but soft-headed folly (in which the general public had no say)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Same thing has happened here, but with Spanish-speaking people from south of the border.
There has been a bipartisan plan to leave the borders open and the laws unenforced.
The “policymakers” decided for us that we needed new Americans.

In his book, "Secrets of the Koran," author Don Richardson points out that parliamentarian governments in the west will be the easiest to take down by Islamists, precisely for the reasons stated in this article.

Their future looks quite bleak.

Most interesting read. I feel sorry for the country of Anne Frank.

Just watched an interview about this with Nigel Farage... I distinctly picked up ‘let them soak in their over-confidence about the polls’ vibe, a strategy used just before Brexit and Nov. 8.

Appear weak when you are strong.

The reason: governments are often Ponzi schemes. If the population stops increasing, the whole thing comes crashing down.

Geert Wilder’s campaign ad for the elections mirrors Trump’s MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

His slogan: MAKE THE NETHERLANDS OURS AGAIN

If 20% of Geert’s people have been lying to the pollsters and have siezed control of the vote-counting apparatus in their precincts, he’s in.

Pray for Geert Wilders and for the Netherlands. If he’s elected PM, then the odds in the Islam vs Europe clash will start to revert to even money.

Muslims are not invincible nor are they invulnerable.

Where would we be without the Netherlands?

They were able to come to the New World from there...

The Pilgrims first sojourned in the Netherlands, a country welcoming of diverse religious views before coming to America.

Geert Wilders will be the Trump of the Netherlands. It will be great for them and it is time to tell those barbarians to go home...

Yes they attended the Huguenot Church in Leiden along with the future passengers of the New Netherland which came to New York in 1623...carrying one of my families...Phillipe Du Trieux ...

Jesse De Forest, another ancestor ...got the idea for the trip from what he saw of the experiences of the Pilgrims while they were there and negotiating their 1620 voyage...

And Islam won’t have any problem establishing itself in the US because it hides itself under a guise of religion in order to obtain First Amendment protection. For America, it will also become a matter of life and death in the future.

The idea is to let the next generation handle this dilemma.

Our children will curse us when they get confronted by Islam.

Hopefully there will be another POTUS like DJT to stop this muzzie rot.

They invited the muzzies in the country in the 1960’s, gave them Dutch citizenship and spoiled them with socialist goodies to keep them happy while their national defense budget was covered by the US.

Muslims ARE invincible because of the WEST’s naiveté in thinking that Islam shares its moral values.
Why else do they allow these barbarians to enter their country?

The WEST’s ignorance is mind-boggling and suicidal. We are sacrificing the happiness and welfare of our children and grandchildren just like the Dutch did in the 1960’s.

These are the crazy governments of Europe, pure democracy that fails at every turn.

During the years Hirsi Ali, writer of Infidel, thrived in Holland, Holland was a stand out champion of free speech. That changed rather quickly.

Trump DID NOT tell the barbarian muzzies to go home.

I wish he had.

Ever since 911 an absurd line of thinking entered the West. It was one that was willing to give Islam absolutely every benefit of the doubt, that would never have been afforded if we were dealing with Christian terrorists.

It was like two battling viewpoints had been created, the one mentioned above seeming to dominate the West. While saner minds recognize that the very heart of Islam is death and pillaging, the other side sought and seeks to deny this at every turn.

Among that set of true believers, who think Islam is much maligned and not deserving of criticism, must be a faction that is working at every turn to hide the true nature of Islam. That is why we get reports from alternative journalism about rapes and sexual assaults in German that the MSM either excuses or denies. Or why at times, the names involved in an atrocity are held back and back and back as long as they can in order to avoid admitting the names are Islamic.

I fear the moderate, unlearned masses are mostly absorbing the narrative that “there is nothing to see here”
