Geert Wilders leads Dutch polls on eve of knife-edge election

The hard-Right leader is predicted to win 28 seats, enough to potentially make him Netherlands prime minister

Geert Wilders, the anti-migrant firebrand known for his fierce rhetoric against Islam, has taken a shock lead in the polls before a knife-edge general election in the Netherlands on Wednesday.

The veteran leader of the hard-Right PVV was on Tuesday predicted to win 28 seats, enough to potentially make him prime minister in a country where nearly one million people, more than five per cent of the population, are Muslims.
