How likely is this guy to win the election? I like his strong anti-islamic stances, but I wonder how it resonates in the Netherlands.
even if he wins(gets more votes than any other party) he will likely not lead the country as most other parties already vowed not to work with him.
so most likely it will be a mix of left/right and some smaller parties
(see it like all presidential candidates besides trump comming together and lead and leave trump on the sideline) _________________

We had candidates over here claim the same thing, but one side mostly fell into line when push came to shove. Not sure if the system over there is similar enough for that to matter though.
But, is there a real chance of him winning? It'd be strange if he does, since it seems he is so disliked, it would be another echo of this happening that's occurring in world politics. If he does take it, I would just go ahead and bet that Le Pen takes France.
“There are two very different stories about next Wednesday’s Dutch elections,” explained Financial Times columnist Simon Kuper last week. “A foreign story, which is all about Wilders and whether he can complete the populist treble after Brexit and Trump; and a Dutch story, in which Wilders isn’t even the main character.”
As my colleague Adam Taylor lays out, the fragmentation of the Dutch political scene means Wilders is unlikely to become prime minister even if his Freedom Party, or PVV, comes first or second in the election. The winning party will need to entice several others into a governing coalition, and none of the mainstream Dutch parties is willing to include Wilders.
Cheers Netherlands, who knows when the next time the world will be looking at your PM elections.
