Dutch election: Anti-Islam populist Wilders ahead - exit poll

By Paul KirbyBBC News, The Hague

Veteran anti-Islam populist leader Geert Wilders is heading for a dramatic victory in The The Dutch general election, says an Ipsos exit poll.

After 25 years in the Dutch parliament, his Freedom Party is heading for 35 seats, according to the poll, well ahead of his nearest rival, a left-wing alliance.

If confirmed the result will shake Dutch politics.

But he will struggle to find parties to join him in government.

No single party can win enough seats to govern alone, and three big parties behind him have made clear they have no desire to work with Mr Wilders.

But he was in combative mood in his victory speech: " We want to govern and with 35 seats we will govern. "

The left-wing alliance under Frans Timmermans is predicted to come in second with 26 seats.

The original favourites to win The Race , the centre-right liberals under new leader Dilan Yesilgöz, are heading for third place, ahead of a Brand New Centre Party under whistleblower MP Pieter Omtzigt .

If confirmed, the result will send shockwaves around Europe, as the Netherlands is one of the founding members of what became the European Union .

Mr Wilders wants to hold a referendum to leave the EU, dubbed a " Nexit" although he recognises there is no national mood to do so.

He also tempered his language in the run-up to the vote, saying on the eve of the vote that there were more pressing issues at The Moment than his commitment to ban Islam, and he was prepared to put that on hold.

But in his victory speech on Wednesday night he declared that the Dutch voter had spoken and chosen " an agenda of hope".

He told his supporters that now The Campaign was Over It was time to work together and the Freedom Party would do so seriously from a great position of strength.
