According to the latest Dutch political poll, the PVV(Partij voor de Vrijheid, Party for Freedom), Geert Wilders’ party, stands head and shoulders above the other parties in the Tweede Kamer. If there were no cordon sanitaire in place, Geert Wilders would be the prime minister, and the PVV would be in charge of all major policy decisions. As things stand, the PVV is in the government, but by no means exerts full control.
