Dutch PM party leads as Geert Wilders fails to break through


Polls have opened in the Netherlands, where voters cast their ballots in key general elections.
Center-right Prime Minister Mark Rutte is vying with far-right politician Geert Wilders in what is seen as a test of nationalist feelings. Talking to a number of reporters today, Wilders reiterated his anti-Muslim views, describing Islam as incompatible with freedom. The Dutch premier, for his part, warned that Wilders’ policies would only enlarge the existing problems, adding Wednesday’s elections serve as an opportunity for voters to QUOTE-beat the wrong sort of populism.
