Dutch Election Results
An exit poll suggests that centrists have won the Dutch vote, beating Geert Wilders' far-right party.
The election was seen as a test of the strength of the far-right in Europe, where extremists are gaining ground in countries such as the UK, France, and Germany.
- The centrist D66 party is projected to win 27 seats out of 150 in parliament.
- Wilders' far-right PVV Freedom Party is expected to win 25 seats.
- The centre-right liberal VVD party is predicted to win 23 seats.
- The left-wing Green/Labour bloc is expected to gain 20 seats.
Dutch voters appeared to have shunned far-right leader Geert Wilders in favour of a centrist party.
