My Comments :   Indeed there appears to be a right wing surge in Europe. In France, anti-Islamist politician Marine Le-Pen is gaining in popularity and could very well be the next French president. 

Gloria Meloni in Italy is considered right wing and the far right parties have won local elections in Italy as well.  Viktor Orban is another  right wing anti-immigration leader who is now prime minister of Hungary. 

But Geert Wilders certainly takes the cake because Wilders has been consistently (for the past 20 years) and patiently preaching against the steady rise of 'Islamo-fascism' in the Netherlands and increasing immigration inflows as well.

Obviously the Dutch voters have finally caught up with Geert Wilders concerns. Caught up meaning they agree with what he has been saying.

Wilders did not win an absolute majority but as the single largest party he gets first crack at forming the government.

If Wilders goes through with the referendum on Holland leaving the EU, it will be the end of the EU. As well as the end of US presence in Europe.
