Dutch Election Favorite Rob Jetten

The EU's dream candidate, Rob Jetten, is favored to win the Dutch election.

Despite this, the Brussels establishment should not celebrate too hard just yet.

The recent election in the Netherlands saw Geert Wilders, a far-right populist, lose nearly a third of his voters after a chaotic 11 months in coalition.

Meanwhile, pro-European liberal Rob Jetten surged in the final days of the campaign and stands a good chance of becoming prime minister at just 38 years old.

He would be the youngest person to hold the office since World War II and the first openly gay candidate ever to do so.

Author's summary: Rob Jetten is the EU's dream candidate for the Dutch election.
