Hm. We'll see.
There are a lot of parties in Dutch politics, and they all promised not to form a coalition with PVV, so he won't become PM unless his party wins a majority, which is very very unlikely. But his party winning a plurality would be a pretty bad sign. I'm hoping PVV gets trounced and loses most of their parliamentary seats.
