Uzlet desnice u Holandiji

If the exit polls are confirmed, Geert Wilders and his Freedom Party will have come from nowhere to second place in the Netherlands in just a few years. The far right party and its maverick leader are set to take around 15% of the vote, pushing Labour, which is part of Holland's ruling coalition, into third place.

If the results are confirmed, the Freedom Party will send at least four members to the European parliament. Mr Wilders said the Dutch people had sent a message that they're sick of being ruled from Brussels.

Geert Wilders was banned from the UK after making a film which linked verses from the Koran with the terrorist attacks on New York and London. He's pledged to use his electoral success as a springboard for a fresh attempt to visit Britain.
