Far-right populist Geert Wilders wins Dutch election

The far-right, anti-Islam party of firebrand politician Geert Wilders is on track to form a new ruling coalition in the Netherlands. Wilders’ party won 35 seats and will be the largest party in the House of Representatives. The Labor-Greens coalition came second with 25 seats. Although Mr Wilders appeared to have won in the polls, it is not clear if he will be able to get support from the other main parties to form a workable government. Sky News host Andrew Bolt has discussed the far-right populist win with Sky News host James Macpherson and Sky News contributor Evelyn Rae.
