.ON NOV 22ND Geert Wilders’s anti-immigrant Party for Flexibility (PVV) completed first in the Dutch basic vote-casting, gaining 37 of the 150 seats in assemblage, or 23.6% of the vote. His triumph was actually a substantial shock. But the beneficiary of this abrupt rely on the hard right is actually no startup.
The 60-year-old Mr Wilders is actually the longest-serving MP in the Dutch assemblage, having actually met 1998 as a member of the centre-right Liberals (VVD). He quit that event in 2004 over what he considered its softness in the direction of Islam, as well as started the PVV in 2006. He has always had a strong base of voter support, yet has actually devoted his parliamentary career usually on the sidelines, shut out of impact by various other gatherings’ rejection to work with him.
Currently there is actually a good chance that this will certainly modify.
