I'm surprised there isn't more talk about this on here. The Netherlands are having an election on the 17th of March. Geert Wilders is currently leading in the polls, which if Brexit and Trump are anything to go by, he must be winning by a larger margin than the polls suggest.
If the polls are showing he is leading by a short margin, he must be leading by a large margin.
I think this election is HUGE for the future of Europe and the EU. The UK have brexited from the EU, if Geert wins, he WILL pull the Netherlands out of the EU and probably start deporting Muslims from the country (not joking).
I think the recent spat with Erdogen will probably give Wilders more votes. It's difficult to predict, but I hope Wilders wins. If he loses, the Netherlands is done for. The left and immigrants will swallow the Netherlands up ... it may eventually descend into civil war.
Erdogen supporters protesting show how divided their society is. The Turkish immigrants are Turkish first, Dutch second ... they haven't integrated, it's as simple as that. "Diversity is our strength" ... lol, no ... UNITY is strength ... having divisions makes you weak and Erdogen pointing out that there are 400,000 Turks in Netherlands and the Dutch military is only 45,000 strong is a national security threat.
I think Geert has a good chance of winning, and if the Netherlands can exit the EU with the UK, I hope the rest will follow like dominoes.
I can't see Le Pen winning in France, purely because of their voting system. I think she will win the first round, but the other parties will gang up against her in the second round and the winner will be some pansy ... I hope I'm wrong though.
Any Dutch people here can tell us whats the word on the streets?? Are the Dutch media for or against Wilders??
