By 5.00 tomorrow morning it will be over. Wilders is dead meat. Voting for him is a waste of a vote. He will never be in power unless he got 51% of the vote. Dream on. Nobody is willing to work with him.

Your right sorry. Thursday morning. Nothing is automated. Voting machines were kicked out in the 70's. Not trustworthy.

I am a big proponent in not allowing electronic voting machines.

I don't think I'll trust polls ever again after Trump and Brexit.

Also, what's with the hair on all these fascist little dickheads on the likes of Wilders and Trump?

Wilders is going down down down. One poll had him at 16 seats which is only one more than he now has and that was yesterday. He is third yesterday and there four parties that could make a good coalition. Le Pen should take notice. With 45 in America and the Mad Turk in Istanbul the populous vote is not going anywhere.

C'mon denizens of the Netherregions, don't keep us in suspense....what's the scuttlebutt over there in the lowlands? Has Wilders exceeded expectations, or is he floundering?

We'll see at 21pm CET. That's when the polling stations close, so I expect first prognosis (based on asking voters after voting) at that time.

Hopefully he is dead meat and Scot's claim the Dutch are superior and not at all as dumb as the Americans is vindicated. :hehe:
