Okay so according to the exit polls the ruling VVD (Liberal/Right and PvdA (Labour) will both lose, but while PvdA will be slaughtered, VVD will be by very far the largest party. So more rightwing crap most likely, although it will be pretty hard to build a coalition with this. My guess is GL (Green Left) will sell out in a couple of weeks/months and join a basically rightwing government with VVD, CDA (Christian Democrats) and D66 (Liberals but less racist and conservative as VVD).

VVD 31 (40)
PVV 19 (12)
CDA 19 (13)
D66 19 (12)
GroenLinks 16 (4)
SP 14 (15)
PvdA 9 (35)
ChristenUnie 6 (5)
Partij voor de Dieren 5 (2)
50Plus 4 (1)
SGP 3 (3)
Denk 3 (2)
Forum voor Democratie 2 (0)
VNL 0 (2)

I voted for the 'immigrant party' Denk (Think). Anyway, while Wilders (PVV) wins, his boasts about taking over were obviously ridiculous. Mostly because of the last-minute spat with Turkey, though he was already going down in the polls. Peaked too soon.




All in all the country moves to the right a bit. But the left is getting more leftist. Green Left, Immigrant Left, Animal Left (Partij voor de Dieren) all win. SP (Socialist Party) keep their core voters at least and the least left of them, PvdA loses big time for a basically right wing government they were part of. Wilders peaked early and was outWilderst by Prime Minister Rutte (VVD). Nobody expects Wilders' PVV to be part of any government. He rules the country by pulling the discourse to the right.
