Democrats rage against extreme right ... and WON!
Similar to division in the United States, women and well educated voted for centrist Social Democracy of newcomer Rob Jetten ... Wilders and the vast group of extreme right and conservatives of the VVD got the votes from men, white supremacists, anti-foreigners whether labour migrants or asylum seekers. These individuals come after our women, jobs and get government preference in the housing market.
Defeated, Geert Wilders pulls a little Trump act refuses to concede ...
Translation:
The Electoral Council decides, not the ANP. How arrogant not to wait for that. But even if D66 becomes the largest party, the PVV won't let Jetten and his associates tear the Netherlands apart, and from day one, we'll be strongly opposing their left-liberal mismanagement with 26 seats! 💪

Pro-European liberal Rob Jetten could become youngest and first openly gay Dutch prime minister | France24 News |
The Dutch election has ended in an unprecedented cliffhanger - with only a few thousand votes separating the far-right Freedom Party of Geert Wilders and the pro-European liberals of Rob Jetten. With nearly all ballots counted, both are projected to win 26 seats - a stunning turnaround that could make Jetten the country's youngest and first openly gay prime minister.

D66 owes its gains partly to women - men voted more often for the VVD and PVV | De Volkskrant |
Rob Jetten's party is popular among female voters, highly educated people, and people in their forties. D66 outperformed the other parties in these demographics. Among men, the PVV and VVD were more popular.
A significant portion of voters who voted for D66 on Wednesday had ticked a box for another party in the previous 2023 parliamentary elections, according to a large survey conducted by research agency Ipsos I&O Voter Research on behalf of NOS. This represents two-thirds of D66 voters. Approximately 9 percent did not vote two years ago.
D66 attracted a significant number of voters from GreenLeft-PvdA in particular. A fifth of D66 voters voted for the left-wing merger party last time around. Almost half much switched from the VVD. Strikingly, 7 percent of D66 voters came from arch-rival PVV.

PAÍSES BAJOS: El Liberal JETTEN probable Ganador de las Elecciones tras el Batacazo de WILDERS | RTVE Noticias |
El partido liberal progresista Demócratas 66 (D66) ha ganado las elecciones legislativas en Países Bajos de este miércoles, según los primeros sondeos. Este resultado supone un vuelco político tras la derrota de la extrema derecha y abrir camino para que su líder, Rob Jetten, se convierta en el primer ministro más joven y abiertamente gay del país.
El avance de D66 es imparable. El partido habría arrebatado votos a casi todas las grandes formaciones, sobre todo al bloque de ecologistas y socialdemócratas GL-PvdA, pero también al liberal VVD, al centrista NSC y a la extrema derecha de Geert Wilders (PVV), que quedaría como segunda fuerza.
Con esto, D66 logra el mejor resultado de su historia y se consolida como la primera fuerza del país, un desenlace impensable hace apenas unas semanas, cuando era Wilders quien encabezaba las encuestas. #ultimahora

Dutch Election Results: Geert Wilders' Far-Right Falls, Centrists Set to Win
The progressive Democrats 66 party is on track to win the Dutch parliamentary election after voters dealt a blow to Geert Wilders’ far-right Freedom Party and threw support behind mainstream political groups. ABN Amro economist Jan-Paul van de Kerke, speaking to Bloomberg’s Oliver Crook in Amsterdam, says a more centrist government is good for the Netherlands.
