The far right party headed by Geert Wilders won the most seats in the latest Dutch national elections
Now the process of coalition talks will begin. Wilders supports banning the koran, clamping down on immigration and a referendum on leaving the EU
One year out from the next European parliamentary elections, the rise of the far right in the Netherlands is being watched closely by its European neighbors
Some EU officials have commented that this represents a worrying sign of increased euroscepticism in the broader EU and it will be important for pro EU parties to come together to work to strengthen the union
Still some 80% of dutch people polled say they support staying in the EU, and many see these results more as a sign of frustration with establishment politics, inflation and the dutch housing crisis
