Dutch Election Called; Wilders Defeated

Geert Wilders














Geert Wilders' political vision did not see victory.

From Time:
"With France and Germany facing elections in the months ahead, [Mark] Rutte hoped to slow the momentum of what he called the "wrong sort of populism" after last's year British vote to leave the European Union and the election of U.S. President Donald Trump.

"This is a chance for a big democracy like the Netherlands to make a point to stop this toppling over of the domino stones of the wrong sort of populism," Rutte said after voting."

Looks like the Netherlands gained a fine leader...Socialist.
