DutchNews coverage of Netherlands election: exit poll predicts defeat for Geert Wilders.

http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2017/03/live-blog-dutch-election-2017-the-results-as-they-come-in/

Prediction is that Wilders' "Party of Freedom" will win 19 seats(a gain of only 7), twelve less than the governing People's Party For Freedom and Democracy(there are 150 seats in the Netherlands parliament.

The unexpected big winner on the night is the Green Left party, which rose from 4 seats to 16.

I understand their schools have never been dumbed down to provide obedient workers and apathetic citizens they ours have been.

I hope this holds up for the actual count. Seeing real pushback would be wonderful.
