Wilders' Dutch Election Win Complicated by Coalition Building Struggles
-
Wilders' Freedom Party won the Dutch election but the liberal VVD party declined to join his coalition, complicating efforts to form a government.
-
Wilders needs the support of at least 3 other parties totaling 76 seats to have a stable coalition. He currently has just 37 seats.
-
The VVD party leader said voters delivered a clear message that after 13 years in power, the VVD should "sit this round out."
-
Opposition to Wilders as prime minister is growing, with rallies against him already taking place.
-
Some Dutch Muslims seem willing to give Wilders a chance as prime minister, hoping his anti-Islam rhetoric is just propaganda.
