I keep throwing the numbers around in my head to figure out how Wilders could lead a coalition.
In 2010, by the way, the PVV won 24 seats and Wilders helped support the Mark Rutte led VVD government but did not ask for cabinet posts.
The VVD government collapsed in 2012 because it imposed austerity measures like cutting spending and raising taxes.
This hurt the VVD and parties that supported it like the PVV.
The Netherlands has quite a wide variety of parties like Labour and Socialist and Christian Democratic Alliance and 50 Plus, also the socially liberal D66 Party which takes its name from year of its formation, 1966 in the “Swingin 60’s”. They are at 17 seats in the latest poll.
50 Plus is polling at 10 seats right now.
The more liberal evangelical Christians of the Christian Union are polling at 5 seats and the more conservative Christian group SGP is at 4 seats.
