Nice thing about the Dutch system is that the only way wilders will end up with as much

control as the others you mention is if the PVV wins with a majority the like of which has never been seen in this country before.

Otherwise it will be a coalition as usual, and until now the only parties which he could possibly form a government with have refused to work with the PVV.

It's not impossible but we are a little more protected from extremes than most countries (and that is precisely the point of the system)
