Geert Wilders, leader of the far-right Party for Freedom, staged a surprise victory in the Dutch election, with his electoral support rising from 12% to 23%. His anti-immigrant stance and desire to undo the green transition have left the once liberal nation deeply divided. Wilders, known as the 'Dutch Donald Trump', has vowed to become prime minister and is now attempting to form a coalition government. His success has raised concerns in Europe, with mainstream parties reluctant to enter a coalition with him. The EU is worried about the rise of hard-right parties in the political landscape, and Wilders's victory is seen as a signal of electoral trendsetting. However, his prospects of leading the government depend on his ability to forge alliances with more centrist rivals. The victory of Wilders has sent a grim message to the country's ethnic and religious minorities, and his win is considered a potent threat to the EU.

Dutch coalition talks typically take months. The most insane thing to note right now is that Wilders does appear to have a *chance* to become prime minister. Leaders that ruled him out prior to the campaign could U-turn their positions (that should always be taken into account)
