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.

Isn’t Wilders in prison and on trial for “hate” speech?

I believe he was found guilty but did not receive any punishment. Appeared to be a typical political trial designed to reduce his popularity without making a martyr of him. Didn't work out like planned.

You make it uncomfortable for them to live there, so they leave on their own volition, unless they truly decide to become a part of the Western World, which of course would make them an apostate.

How will Europe get rid of them?

After WW2, millions of Germans were expelled from Silesia and the Suedetenland.

What's good for the goose...

And in the end the expulsions were a good idea, it helped to keep the peace after the war. The alternative would have been many of them being slaughtered out of revenge.

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!

Amen!

Doesn’t always stay fixed though.

E.g., the US got rid of its Indians, but Mexico didn’t, and they’re back.

So you just order them to leave and they do? Why didn’t we think of that?

If Wilders wins, that could be the death blow to the EU.

Pray for his safety.

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


Wilder needs an absolute majority to win. Very difficult but not impossible.

And you are right, if he performs that very difficult feat it will have repercussions across the continent.

Wooden shoes, tulips, windmills, fingers in dykes.
