On October 29, the Dutch will head to the polls for general elections, after the four-party coalition government collapsed when Geert Wilders, leader of the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), exited the coalition over, what some view as a manufactured dispute on, asylum policy. After only 11 months, this dispute brought down down the cabinet of Prime Minister Dick Schoof. As polls close, join this panel for insights and reactions to the initial results and what they may mean for Dutch and European politics.
