Far-right Geert Wilders on course for surprise victory

There's been a shock victory in the Dutch election for the far-right, Freedom Party. Exit polls predict the party led by Geert Wilders will win 35 of the 150 seats in parliament, 10 clear of the next largest party the Green Left coalition led by former EU Commissioner Frans Timmermans. Wilders has long campaigned against immigration and has advocated anti-Islam policies. Despite the shock result, it is not clear if other parties are willing to form a coalition with him.
