Watching the Dutch Election like a Pro
POLITICO provides an overview of the critical Dutch vote, which is currently too close to call, with far-right Geert Wilders challenging the mainstream.
Europe is holding its breath, awaiting the outcome of the Dutch election, which could either swing left or maintain its rightward course.
- The Dutch head to the polls to vote in an election that could make the far right the most popular party in the Netherlands.
- This vote could expose the struggle European centrists face in beating back anti-establishment forces.
Even if anti-immigration firebrand Geert Wilders wins the election, he is short of allies and has next to no chance of becoming prime minister, or even being in government.
This would likely lead to a scramble to form a coalition that excludes the far right.
Author's summary: Dutch election outcome uncertain.
