POLITICO provides an overview of the critical vote in the Netherlands, where far-right Geert Wilders is challenging the mainstream parties.
Europe is awaiting the outcome of the Dutch election, which will determine whether the country will shift left or continue its rightward trend.
The election 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 may lead to a scramble to form a coalition that excludes the far right, as current opinion polls suggest Wilders might win.
Author's summary: Dutch election outcome uncertain.
