Dutch voters are demanding their own citizens are put first - and THAT'S why Wilders is winning

What we do know is that since the shock election outcome, support for Wilders' party has actually increased further.

His PVV party is now hitting 30 per cent in the polls and would be on course to win a whopping 47 seats now, compared to the 37 it won at the November election.

To explain how dramatic that 47-seat polling is, the Dutch House of Representatives only has 150 seats overall.

Why is this all happening?

Well new research has laid bare the priorities for Dutch voters and why Geert Wilders is receiving such record-high levels of support.

Immigration is clearly a huge issue in the Netherlands - just as the issue of both legal and illegal migration continues to dominate politics right across Europe. It will be a major issue in the UK General Election as well of course.

The Dutch research also showed clear public support for the sentiment that “the Netherlands is for the Dutch again”.

That includes a desire from the public for stronger border controls and controlled levels of immigration.,

Of course, the ultimate challenge for any politician and leader within the European Union is delivering anything resembling strong borders when free movement of people is a central pillar of the EU project.

Wilders' Freedom Party has called for a Nexit referendum - and with such large Dutch support for his party, that will severely trouble many in Brussels.

Whatever happens next, the Dutch people have delivered a strong message. Will the political class in the Netherlands now listen?
