Dutch far-right Freedom Party surges to victory

Far right politician Geert Wilders has claimed a shock victory in the Dutch national election. The leader of the Dutch Freedom Party claimed 37 seats in the parliament, 12 seats ahead of the second-placed Green-Labour coalition. The party of outgoing prime minister Mark Rutte came third, while a new party, just three months old, will also play a crucial role in coalition talks.
