.ON NOVEMBER 22ND Geert Wilders’s anti-immigrant Group for Independence (PVV) ended up first in the Dutch general election, gaining 37 of the 150 seats in assemblage, or even 23.6% of the vote. His victory was a massive surprise. But the named beneficiary of this particular sudden look to the challenging right is no upstart.
The 60-year-old Mr Wilders is actually the longest-serving MP in the Dutch assemblage, having met 1998 as a member of the centre-right Liberals (VVD). He quit that celebration in 2004 over what he considered its softness towards Islam, and established the PVV in 2006. He possesses consistently had a sound base of citizen help, yet has actually devoted his parliamentary profession mostly on the side projects, locked out of influence through other gatherings’ rejection to team up with him.
Now there is actually a good chance that this will certainly modify.
