Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party now the most popular in the Netherlands

That’s exciting news, for which we have the dhimmi traitor Labor government of Britain to thank. The headline from Radio Netherlands is a bit misleading, however. It makes it sound as though the Freedom Party has 32 seats in the Dutch Parliament, whereas what it really means is that based on a poll, if an election were held now, the Freedom Party would win 32 seats.

Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party rises to 32 seats 29 March 2009

The Freedom Party of populist right-wing leader Geert Wilders has climbed again in the polls, this time to a record of 32 seats in the 150-seat parliament. The Freedom Party is in first place and is now four seats ahead of the Christian Democrats, the largest of the three parties in the governing coalition. Pollster Maurice de Hond attributes the rise in popularity to his departure from a parliamentary debate on Thursday. He walked out of the debate in a huff, describing the debate on the economic crisis as “a sham”.

His ratings began to soar in February, when the British government refused to allow him to enter the country. Sixty percent of voters who describe themselves as right-wing say they will vote for Wilders’ Freedom Party.
