Far-right populist Geert Wilders won a 'monster victory' in the Netherlands' general election yesterday that has shaken the nation and the rest of Europe. The 60-year-old politician heads up the right-wing Party for Freedom (PVV), which ran on an anti-immigration and anti-Islam platform, taking 37 seats in the election, more than any other party. The result, which more than doubled his party's previous share, puts Wilders who has been described as the ' Trump', in a favourable position for upcoming coalition talks with the roughly half-dozen other parties that hold a significant number of seats.
