Express UK:

WITH Geert Wilders hoping to storm to victory in the Dutch election today, here are all the latest updates, polls and breaking news from the Netherlands.

Up to 13 million people in the Netherlands are voting in today’s Dutch election seen as a face-off between Geert Wilders and the current Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

Mr Wilders, the leader of the anti-Islamist Party for Freedom (PVV), is taking on Mr Rutte, from the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), in the knife-edge election race.

The blonde populist cast his vote in the election today after a fiery election campaign in which he pledged to shut the country’s borders, ban the Koran and close mosques.

The election is overshadowed by spat with Turkey after Turkish ministers were banned from speaking in Rotterdam as part of a row over Ankara’s political campaigning among emigres.

As the people in the Netherlands go to the polls today, here is a look at the latest news, opinion polls and updates on the Dutch election.

  1. The leftists won. Wilders will finish 3rd. The left will maintain a coalition of power. Due to demographics the Netherlands is finished. The islamist party has picked up 3 seats. They will now open the flood gates with the refugees Erdogan has been holding in pens and they will shift it for good. So long Amsterdam.

  2. Too sad. By the time there is another round of elections it will be too late. This was their chance to change course and they voted for the death of Dutch identity & culture.

  3. It is unbelievable that so many are willfully blind and deaf to what is happening to their homeland. I pray that enough of us will pay attention to what takes place over there that we can get a handle on our homeland. I saw a couple friends from Amsterdam this January and there was some conversation about their election as well as ours. You could tell that they thought my views were a point of amusement, then when I told them I bought my wife an AR-15 for Christmas you swear they thought they were looking at a zoo animal.

  4. But seriously, dad of classmates of mine used to tell stories about hiding from the nazis for weeks in the sewer system in Rotterdam. I think. Since the muzzie probably live in the sewers, there’s probably no place to hide in WWIII.

  5. Sad news. I’ve been to the Netherlands several times. Enjoyed it.
    Actually went there just a few weeks after the 9-11 attacks.
    I recall going to a favorite Shoarma restuarant in Eindhoven, in which were a couple of Arabic looking dudes. I wondered what they were saying when they glanced my way. It was months later that I learned some of the planning for the 9-11 attacks were done in a mosque in Eindhoven.
