Quote:The Dutch tested their own tolerance for immigration and Islam on Wednesday in an election magnified by a furious row with Turkey, the first of three polls in the European Union this year where nationalist parties are seeking breakthroughs.

The center-right VVD party of Prime Minister Mark Rutte, 50, is vying with the PVV (Party for Freedom) of anti-Islam and anti-EU firebrand Geert Wilders, 53, to form the biggest party in parliament.

As many as 13 million voters began casting ballots at polling stations across the country that will close at 2000 GMT. A charged campaign, plus clear skies and sunshine meant high turnout was expected. National broadcaster NOS said that by 0930 GMT in the morning, turnout was at 15 percent, 2 percent ahead of the previous parliamentary election in 2012.

With as many as four out of 10 voters undecided a day before voting and a tight margin of just 4 percent between leading candidates, the outcome was unpredictable.

Wilders, who has vowed to "de-Islamicise" the Netherlands, has little chance of forming a government given that other leading parties have ruled out working with him. But a first place PVV finish would still send shockwaves across Europe.

Netherlands will not give up to fear. Relax.

You say fear; I say naiveté.
Geert would be another great victory in the fight against globalism, but from what I've read about their rules, it doesn't seem likely.

He is based af, though. A total bad ass.


I'm guessing that Turk application to the EU is now on permanent hold. So basically, nothing has changed.

I can't take it... In 3 hours we see the first polls, I believe. Let's see what Europe chooses.

Why does anyone on this board care what the Netherlands does in their elections?

Who cares? We are out of the election influence business now.

Globalists care. But you are somewhat right. Just remember that your president Trump can get a new ally.

We do.

Europe is a beautiful place, I would prefer for it to not turn into a 3rd world hell hole, which is it's current trajectory under globalist policies.
I guess I don't. Whatever the Dutch do is for the Dutch to cheer for one way or the other, IMO.

Ummmm..... Outside of Immigration Geert Wilders is not at all conservative. Consider him a "woke" leftists who sees that islamists pose a threat to the very values which liberals and leftists around the world hold to be true.

This constant conflating of people whos position on immigration and "literally hitler" is why the left is losing ground. You have played that card for too long.

Dank uw wel, Nederlands

Nederlands blijft vrij.

At least 89/150 strongly pro-EU. That doesn't include the 19 from the CDA (which is largely pro EU), and the 6 from the soft-Euroskeptic CU.

Wilders and friends. 19 for the PVV (up from 15), 3 for the SGP (from 0)

So hard pro-EU....89
Hard anti-EU...22
Mixed...19
Soft Euroskeptic....6

Pending the results of the open seats, PVV might finish FIFTH.
Muh polls. We'll see.

Its a long way from an exit poll of 22/150 votes for Dexit to gaining a majority.

Umm, no. He is pretty damn conservative by Euro standards.
