Geert Wilders and his far-Right Party for Freedom (PVV) have surged in popularity in recent years, and this has led to fears that the Netherlands could be the next western country to see an anti-establishment movement overturn the status quo.

The Netherlands holds a General Election on March 15, with several parties expected to gain more than 10 seats - out of a total of 150.

It means that coalition is a near-certainty, and with polls suggesting that Wilders' party is likely to emerge as one of the largest parties, the far-Right is poised to have a big influence on negotiations.
