Shock Poll: In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders' Party Smashes Rivals
PJMedia ^ | FEBRUARY 3, 2017 | MICHAEL VAN DER GALIEN

Some thirty parties will compete with each other for the favor of Dutch voters on March 15. Because there are only 150 seats in the Dutch Parliament, the largest party will not be able to get much more than 35 to 40 seats. The favorite right now to become the largest party in parliament is Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom (PVV).

A shocking new poll has been released in the Netherlands. According to Kantar Public, PVV has opened a large lead over the second largest party in the polls, the VVD, which is currently part of the governing coalition. This makes Wilders the absolute favorite to succeed current Prime Minister Mark Rutte as the political leader of the country.

According to the Kantar Public poll, the PVV would get 35 seats in the 150-seat Dutch Parliament if elections were held today. By Dutch standards, that's an impressive result. This is especially true because of the significant gap between PVV and the VVD. The party led by current Prime Minister Mark Rutte wold have to settle for a mere 22 seats, 19 fewer seats than they currently occupy.

Wilders is profiting from a general feeling of unease about the direction in which the country is heading and public outrage at the refugee crisis. The Dutch government has allowed the borders to remain open, thereby allowing tens of thousands of "refugees" to come to the Netherlands every single year. This while there already were significant problems caused by (mostly) Islamic immigrants who refuse to assimilate into Dutch culture and society.

If Wilders wins, that could be the death blow to the EU. It would start an unstoppable domino effect.

We could see a repeat of the fall of the Soviet Union - how quickly it disintegrated.

Praise God, what a miracle this would be! Isn’t Wilders in prison and on trial for “hate” speech? Wouldn’t that be something if he were elected anyway? I hope I am right that Trump’s victory in the U.S. is emboldening more Westerners to freely speak out against, and rally to action in opposition, to those assailing their countries.

Wilders would need a majority of seats, not just be the biggest winner in a multi-party race. The other parties would just join a coalition which excludes him.

Wilders win, coupled with the France Presidential election and the legislative election...complete by end of June...will make things interesting. Toss in Germany’s election by September, and then we lead on out to the 2019 EU election. You could see almost fifty percent of the EU controlled by right-wing elements.

It’s not true until it’s true. We’ve seen articles like this over the years that pump up conservative/nationalism but they always seem to fall far short of even modest expectations.

Perhaps Trump momentum will help them into leadership.

...”If Wilders wins, that could be the death blow to the EU. It would start an unstoppable domino effect.

Perhaps, if we pray, God will give a victory over the enemies of the world. The story of Gideon from the Bible is really uplifting and, except for age, could describe what Donald Trump is experiencing right now from the enemies of the US Government. For anyone interested in Gideon’s story, it can be found here: Judges 6:11-16,25-32.

Add Beppe Grillo in Italy, the continuing financial crisis in Greece and Spain and you have the recipe for a break up.

My question is, what happens to the Euro? What happens to all the debt that has been accumulated in Euros when there is no longer a European central bank to backstop it? Perhaps the world economy has discounted Greece going bankrupt but what if it all blows up at once?

Many prayers are being answered worldwide. We need to keep praying. And don’t forget some prayers of thanks for all the good things that have already happened!

The PVV will be the leading party, but will not reach 50%. The question is whether the PVV will find a coalition partner so it can become the governing party.

Related: After the election in the Netherlands, Democrats will no longer advocate that the party with the most votes be placed in power.

From what someone explained yesterday, whoever builds a 76 vote coalition will own the power.

It’s not as slam dunk as it sounds.

I dont know who/what the other parties are and where they stand politically.

But the muslims are already there. How will Europe get rid of them? How will America get rid of them?
