Will Geert Wilders win the Dutch election? Latest polls for the Netherlands election 2017
The anti-Islam leader of the Dutch far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) is on course to win the most seats at the general election in March.
His election would be the latest blow for Europe’s liberal order in the wake of the Donald Trump’s victory and the Brexit vote.
Mr Wilders has pledged to close the Netherlands’ borders, shut down mosques and leave the euro and EU if he gets into power.
Rem Korteweg, senior research fellow at the Centre for European Reform (CER), believes that there is an 80 per cent chance that the Mr Wilders will win.
He said: “We have to take the polls with a grain of salt, but Wilder has really been able to create a significant lead over the past two months.”
