Will Geert Wilders win next week's Dutch elections?

After the election of Donald Trump in the US, and Britain's Brexit vote, could the Netherlands become the next country to produce a voting shock? People there go to the polls for a general election on March 15th. All the talk is of the growing popularity of the anti-establishment PVV or Freedom party led by Geert Wilders. He wants to stop all immigration of Muslims, and pull his country out of both the European Union and the euro. Opinion polls suggest his party will emerge from the election as one of the biggest. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Manuela Saragosa has been gauging the mood in the country, in the southern Dutch city of Maastricht.
