The vote could potentially cement the far right as the most popular party in the Netherlands, exposing the struggles of European centrists to counter anti-establishment forces.

Even if anti-immigration firebrand Geert Wilders wins the election, he is short of allies and has next to no chance of becoming prime minister, or even being in government.

This would likely lead to a scramble to form a coalition that excludes the far right.
