Far-right populist Geert Wilders has won the most votes Wednesday in the Dutch election with a landslide margin, according to an exit poll, putting him in line to lead talks to form a new ruling coalition and possibly become the country\u2019s Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

In a major shock, the exit poll published by the national broadcaster NOS said Wilders\u2019 Party for Freedom won 35 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament, more than twice the 17 he won at the last election.<\/p>\n

If confirmed when votes are counted, a Wilders victory would send a seismic shock through European politics.<\/p>\n

His election program calls for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, a total halt to accepting asylum-seekers and migrant pushbacks at the Dutch borders.<\/p>\n

It also advocates the “de-Islamisation” of the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Brexit ‘is not the end’ of break-up says Wilders in 2019<\/h3>\n

But the lawmaker, who has in the past been labelled a Dutch version of Donald Trump, first would have to form a coalition government before he can take the reins of power.<\/p>\n

That will be tough as mainstream parties are reluctant to join forces with him and his Party for Freedom.<\/p>\n

The exit poll was published as voting ended in the general election.<\/p>\n

It can have a margin of error of up to three seats, but generally is accurate within one or two seats, Ipsos said.<\/p>\n
