Why Dutch populist Geert Wilders is scenting victory
By Anna Holligan BBC News, Almere

When Dutch populist Geert Wilders promises to stop Islam and make the Netherlands great again, his message finds a ready audience in the country's newest city of Almere.


"It's too easy for people to come here," says Joost, a 60-year-old market trader. "Too many guys from Turkey and Morocco, economic migrants. I have three small children, what kind of world will they grow up in?"

...

What Wilders wants:


    "De-Islamising the Netherlands" - no more immigrants or asylum seekers from Muslim countries
    No Islamic headscarves in public functions; ban on Islamic expressions that violate public order
    Ban on Koran, closure of mosques and Islamic schools
    Dutch exit from EU
    Deport criminals with dual nationality
