According to the latest polls, the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV, led by Geert Wilders) is now the #1 party in the Netherlands:

Just reading across, left to right, it looks like PVV hit a peak a year ago, declined a bit but stayed up until April this year (around the time of the “Morroccan” comment and the MSM’s and other parties’ spinning fallout?) and has now nearly recouped its losses. Is it too much to hope that the Dutch public will not be fooled again?
PVV leads, but no majority in its own right, pity! The Dutchman will be attending the launching of Australian Liberty Alliance some time early next year on a date to be fixed. I hope this party will fare better here than what Mr Wilders has to contend with in his native Holland.
This clown is put there to demonize the right. He makes it so easy to discredit him on purpose. Controlled opposition that wil turn on a subject last second.. Al he does is scream and talk in absolute absurdities. Often he is right and could make a reasonable case. But then he decides to ridicule and insult. We need a real nationalist party, not this agitator. Its al about mr wilders the people come second..
