This guy could be the next Dutch prime minister




Steve King's friend, Geert Wilders, is neck and neck with the current Prime Minister in the Dutch election.

He has pledged to close the borders, shut down mosques and leave the euro and EU if he wins.

The poll showed Prime Minister Mark Rutte's pro-business VVD party on track to win 27 seats in the 150-seat parliament with 18 percent of the vote, three more than in the pollster's last survey, published on Sunday but taken before the weekend.

Geert Wilders's anti-Muslim Freedom Party was in second place with 16 percent, or up two seats to 24.

In the latest Peilingwijzer poll of polls, the two parties are on 16.2 percent and 13.4 percent respectively.

Wilders has little chance of forming a government, since other parties have ruled out a coalition with a party they view as racist. A PVV win would nevertheless send shock waves across Europe.
