Dutch MP Geert Wilders would become next prime minister in poll
Dutch MP Geert Wilders would become the next prime minister of The Netherlands if elections were to be held this month. His Party for Freedom (PVV) now holds nine seats, but a top local pollster finds that he's now so popular that he would get 27 seats. Top pollster Maurice de Hond said Wilders' PVV -party would get 27 seats - one more than the ruling coalition partners Christian Democrats' 26 and the Labour Party's 21 seats. The fourth-largest party in this poll would be Democrats-66 party with 19 seats. This means that if an election were to be held this month, Wilders' party would gain so many votes that he would be asked to form the next coalition government in The Netherlands. And it would be the first time in history than an elected Western country's leader would have to live with a Fatwa, an islamist death-order, on his head. Wilders has been under constant guard ever since the murder of Dutch cineast Theo van Gogh 4 years ago, when a death-warrant against Wilders was pinned to the outspoken Van Gogh's chest by his murderer.
Note EU-Digest: The truth of the matter is that Geert Wilders is not for real, instead one could describe him to be an "egocentric fascist populist", who plays the nationalist martyr, avoids talk shows and uses dramatic "one liners" he never is able to back up. Even after his recent visit to the USA some of his conservative Republican hosts stated on TV and radio that they considered him to be a political opportunist. In the Netherlands he might be able to fool many people, but he won't be able to fool everyone all the time. One thing is clear - Geert Wilders certainly is a lively diversion within the drab, musty and Calvinist Dutch political system, but he will never be able to become the Dutch PM. Political leadership requires foresight and the ability to make alliances. Those are not Geert Wilders his strong points.
