Thank you, Netherlands.
Forum for democracy got 2 seats from pvv (basically the same party points) and the turkish matter was handled well by the direct political opponent of the pvv , the current ruling party VVD.
Anyone attributing a pro europe result from this is looking for the result they want to see. It is once more all too apperant that voters have a short memory, which is too bad. VVD will do fine though, go go us!
They won't fail, the coalition will be formed within a week. Nobody wants Wilders so Wilders is NEVER going to be in charge.

Thank god Belgium and the Netherlands have proper political systems where an idiot like Wilders will never get anywhere.
Looks like people are starting to come back to their senses, wonderful!
Mother pus bucket!
7 out of 388 counted so yeah calling it a win for the VVD is just stupid look at what happened in the US last year, Hillary is the winner and a few hours later a turnip is in the White House instead and prior to that in the UK all the polls said that the UK wouldn't leave the EU and a few hours later they did.
Never count your favourite the winner unless the all the votes are counted no matter how much you want to.
The VVD might still be a big party and even be able to form a coalition but even they are being punished just not nearly as bad as the PvdA.
Also note that the viable coalition people are talking off are on opposite sides on a lot of the major issues they will either fold within 2 years or get nothing done till the next election.
So I'll wait and see what we are going to have to deal with when I wake up tmrw when the final count is in.

Well balanced never happens, cause those parties are often at opposite ends of issues. Especially VVD (most right leaning central party) and the Socialist Party (SP, probably the most leftwing party that's not a niche party) are often completely at odd where it comes to social and economic policy. They'd never be able to agree to enough things to get a working partnership.
The most likely outcome is a central/rightwing coalition of VVD/CDA/D66/CU. They'd be able to get shit done cause they mostly agree on things.
Seems the far right can't get a foot in Europe, it doesn't look like le pen will have much chance either, so all continuing as normal
