Netherlands: far-right leader Geert Wilders fails to form a majority government. Wilders won the legislative elections in November with an anti-Islam, climate-sceptical and Islamophobic manifesto.

In the highly fragmented Dutch political system, where no party is strong enough to govern alone, exiting the polls generally marks the start of months of negotiations. The latest polls suggest a greater victory for the PVV, credited with 50 seats out of 150, compared to 37 today.
