Dutch elections: Migration, housing and Wilders’ grip on power

This Wednesday, voters in the Netherlands head to the polls for yet another snap parliamentary election. The vote was called after the collapse of a four-party coalition government led by Geert Wilders’ far-right Party for Freedom (PVV). The coalition, which included the liberal-conservative VVD, the agrarian BBB, and the centrist New Social Contract (NSC), lasted less than a year. Wilders withdrew his support in June, claiming the government’s migration policies were not strict enough, despite his own party holding the migration portfolio. In one of Europe’s most fragmented and polarised democracies, governments fall faster than they form. So, can this vote finally change that?
