Geert Wilders' Election Win Sends Shockwaves Through Europe

The centre-right VVD party, the largest party in the former Dutch government, has ruled out participating in the next Dutch cabinet after Geert Wilders' anti-Islam populist party, PVV, won a significant number of seats in the recent election. Without the VVD's support, Wilders will struggle to form a majority government. The only potential partners are the newly formed centrist New Social Contract and the centre-right Farmer Citizens Movement. However, the VVD has indicated that it would be willing to play a constructive role in supporting a minority government in parliament.
