THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders said Thursday that he is ready to join the next Dutch coalition government after he surged to a huge election victory that marked a stunning lurch to the far right for a nation once famed as a beacon of tolerance.

The result is sending shockwaves through Europe, where extremist nationalist ideology is putting pressure on democracies that now face the possibility of having to deal with the first far-right prime minister of the Netherlands.

“It is going to happen that the PVV is in the next Cabinet,” Wilders said, using the Dutch abbreviation for his Party for Freedom.

With nearly all votes counted, Wilders’ party was forecast to win 37 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament, more than double the 17 the party secured in the last election.

In Europe, one is called "far right" simply for having noticed that every fiqh of Islamic sharia is deeply illiberal and having concluded as a result that Europe should have far less immigration from the Muslim world.

Encoouraging trends, but I think it might be too late for most of Europe.  Especially after I saw that 500K of these turds were marching unabated in London.
