<\/a>But Geert Wilders' Freedom Party behind Peoples Party and Christian Democrats<\/strong><\/p>

From Cliff Thies:<\/p>

Recent polling data suggest that the three main center-right parties of the Netherlands appear headed for a majority in the upcoming June 9th snap election.<\/p>

Among the three center-right parties, the market-liberal Peoples Party looks be finish strongest (and would presumably name the country's next Prime Minister), followed by the conservative Christian Democrats, and the populist Freedom Party. <\/p>

Again, according to recent polling data, these parties will secure 77 of the 150 seats in the Dutch parliament, enough to form a government. The four main center-left parties - the Social Democrats, Socialists, Greens and Democrats - will secure 64 seats, the centrist Christian Union 6, and two very small parties the remaining 3.<\/p>

<\/a>Were these figures to be realized, the Peoples Party and Christian Democrats would probably be forced to deal with the Freedom Party. <\/p>

Note - Wilders PVV is in many ways a breakaway from the Christian Democrats. He himself was originally a member of the Christian Democrats.<\/em><\/p>

Another grand coalition is not advisable given the failure of the former grand coalition which precipitated the snap election, and the centrist Christian Union won't have enough seats. A coalition of the three center-right parties would require some compromise or accommodation of the divergent social positions of these parties, but this has happened previously in post-war Netherlands.<\/p>

Note - Hans Viegel, former Deputy Prime Minister of the Peoples Party has openly advocated closer ties to Geert Wilders and the Party of Freedom, along with a coalition of Rita Verdonk's (photo) Proud of the Netherlands movement.
