Why does Geert Wilders, leader of the far-right in the Netherlands which is having an election today, look like a shitty James Bond villain
Jos Hendriks Mar 15
Because he basically is. And disappointingly, his hateful rhetoric has found a big audience. Not proud, as a Dutchman.

early indications are good at least
Mark Rutte's party is set for 31 seats, with Geert Wilders' anti-immigrant party predicted to win 19.

Yeah, I'm staying glued to the internet to see it confirmed that he did not get the majority of votes. Thank goodness if true.

Is the system the same as here?
Jos Hendriks Mar 15
always a coalition government that shares a governing majority.
Jos Hendriks Mar 15
usually the biggest winner is a definite part. Parties not in coalition form opposition.
King Curry Thunder Mar 15
ok - yeah seemed like a huge number of parties. Any best website to check for updates?
Jos Hendriks Mar 15
just following the news, like you. Will let you know if I find a more precise measurement somewhere.
