.ON NOV 22ND Geert Wilders’s anti-immigrant Group for Liberty (PVV) completed first in the Dutch basic vote-casting, winning 37 of the 150 chairs in parliament, or even 23.6% of the vote. His triumph was actually a large unpleasant surprise. However the named beneficiary of this particular quick look to the hard right is actually no upstart.
The 60-year-old Mr Wilders is actually the longest-serving MP in the Dutch parliament, 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, and also established the PVV in 2006. He possesses always possessed a solid base of voter help, yet has actually devoted his parliamentary job usually on the side projects, shut out of impact through various other events’ refusal to team up with him.
Right now there is actually a likelihood that this will definitely transform.
