Wilders might glean some votes but I agree with the author -- no one will be willing to work with him.

The Dutch system of proportional representation means that wingnuts have a good chance of winning seats.  And the world political stage seems to be especially kind to wingnuts right now.  But my prediction is that this is a passing trend.  Gasbags that are long on rhetoric and short on concrete solutions appeal to the masses but have no real staying power, since their positions and policies are largely based on emotion and illusion.  How can closing mosques and banning the Koran possibly help the stagnant middle class?

Usually these sorts thrive on economic privation.  The Netherlands isn't really going through that right now, but the short shrift of the middle class is very telling.   To truly eliminate the more odious populists, both the income gap and the perceived mollycoddling of the poor needs to be addressed.
