How to Watch the Dutch Election Like a Pro
POLITICO provides an overview of the critical Dutch vote, which is currently too close to call, as far-right Geert Wilders challenges the mainstream.
Europe is holding its breath, wondering if the Netherlands will swing left or maintain its rightward course. The Dutch head to the polls to vote in an election that could make the far right the most popular party in the Netherlands, exposing the struggle European centrists face against anti-establishment forces.
