htaeD can talk more to the Dutch aspect but I think its a wee bit more complicated than a broad embrace of the far right in Europe and across the world. You look at Poland where the far right incumbents got their asses kicked, or Spain where the far right just flopped, and other places where there isnt a far right surge and it paints a different picture than places like the Netherlands, Finland, and others. I think what is happening is that the global economic conditions are causing governments all over to collapse, and in a lot of countries the prime opposition is the far right. In places where the right and far right are already in charge, they are losing power. Where they are in opposition they are gaining it. I think were seeing a massive anti-government shift which is often but not exclusively tied to the far right. The bad news of course is that this could empower the far right in many places including the US and France.

I dont think its so much that the majority of my country all fell to the far right. But that it was the only movement that came together in a strong way and did not get split up.
The only upside is that indeed it will be difficult for Geert to get a coalition since he already cannibalized the other extreme parties to get to the top.
