Wilders is the founder and sole member of his party, which currently holds 37 of the 150 seats in the Dutch Lower House and zero in the European Parliament. Opinion polls usually indicate it has 15% to 30% support, ahead of most other parties in fragmented Dutch politics.

Wilders was raised as a <a href="/wiki/Catholic" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholic">Catholic</a>, but he later abandoned the Church. This coincided with a stint of frequent trips to the <a href="/wiki/Middle_East" title="Middle East">Middle East</a>, especially to <a href="/wiki/Israel" title="Israel">Israel</a>. He was inspired by the contrast posed by Israel's representative <a href="/wiki/Democracy" title="Democracy">democracy</a> and the neighboring Arab countries' lack thereof. He later claimed that his travels convinced him that Islam undermined democratic development and threatened the civilized world. Since then, the <a href="/wiki/Arab_Spring" title="Arab Spring">Arab Spring</a> has shown that democracy usually leads to Islamist regimes, and Wilders has backtracked on his support for democratization in the region. </p><p>In the late 1980's, Wilders joined the conservative free-market People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (<i>Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie</i>, or VVD). He was a typical career politician at first and was mentored by Frits Bolkestein, an early critic of <a href="/wiki/Multiculturalism" title="Multiculturalism">multiculturalism</a>. After the assassination of Pim Fortuyn, Wilders himself became a prominent opponent of multiculturalism and later worked with <a href="/wiki/Ayaan_Hirsi_Ali" title="Ayaan Hirsi Ali">Ayaan Hirsi Ali</a>, who had also joined the VVD. That led him to oppose Turkish EU membership, against the party line. The VVD is pro-American, and Washington wanted Turkey in the EU to consolidate its support for the <a href="/wiki/War_on_Terror" title="War on Terror">War on Terror</a>. Wilders was forced out and founded a one-man party. It still has no other membership, which gives Wilders total control over its activities. </p><p>Following the murder of Dutch filmmaker <a href="/wiki/Theo_van_Gogh" title="Theo van Gogh">Theo van Gogh</a>, Geert Wilders aggressively seized on the resulting anti-Muslim sentiment. His party displaced all other right-wing populist parties, leaving him as undisputed leader of the Dutch populist right. In 2010-2011, he faced a potential one-year prison sentence on five charges of inciting hatred and <a href="/wiki/Discrimination" title="Discrimination">discrimination</a> against Muslims with his rhetoric. However, he was acquitted by an Amsterdam court on the grounds that his inflammatory comments about Muslims were protected <a href="/wiki/Free_speech" class="mw-redirect" title="Free speech">free speech</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-PDC_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PDC-2">[2]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup> </p><p>In the 2010 election, the PVV party won 24 seats and backed the formation of a new centre-right administration. In return, the new government adopted some of his demands, but that was the closest Wilders got to government office. In 2012, he withdrew his support, and his party lost much support, dropping to 15 seats. Opinion polls indicate it has now recovered and should be the largest party in the next elections. The question is, however, if anyone will want to form a coalition with him; the nine other parties currently in the House of Representatives are all either unable to cooperate with him for one reason or another or simply too small to gain a majority, so one is left with the question if Wilders will be able to form a government at all. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="International_breakthrough">International breakthrough</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Geert_Wilders&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: International breakthrough">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <table style="margin: auto; border-collapse:collapse; border-style:none; background-color:transparent;" class="cquote"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="padding:4px 50px;position:relative;"><span style="position:absolute;left:10px;top:-6px;z-index:1;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-weight:bold;color:#B2B7F2;font-size:36px">“</span><span style="position:absolute;right:10px;bottom:-20px;z-index:1;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-weight:bold;color:#B2B7F2;font-size:36px">”</span>Just look at Donald Trump for a moment.

He is also criticized for his refusal to compromise, although he did support a coalition in 2010. While only a minority in the national parliament, Wilders and his party have had an enormous impact. He has made immigration and Islam central issues in Dutch politics, to the point where they often overshadow the economy. Although other parties generally show distaste for his views, they have been forced to make concessions for fear of losing voter support to the Party for Freedom. The chance that he will ever run the country is, however, very small, as it is unlikely that the Party for Freedom would be able to find willing coalition partners after having instigated the fall of the first Rutte cabinet. There's also a pretty good argument to be made that not running the country is more profitable for him, personally, in the long run as it feeds his underdog status and enables him to continue to run the grift. </p><p>A frequent charge in this regard is that Geert Wilders' understanding of freedom doesn't include the freedom of everyone to live their lives the way that they want to (a frequent justification for <a href="/wiki/Multiculturalism" title="Multiculturalism">multiculturalism</a>), but his freedom <i>from</i> dissidents and minorities.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a></sup> Wilders has been named as an example of a champion of <a href="/wiki/Islamophobia" title="Islamophobia">Islamophobia</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center" title="Southern Poverty Law Center">Southern Poverty Law Center</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-SPLC_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SPLC-26">[26]</a></sup> </p><p>Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, has said that Wilders is "arguably the world's worst Islamophobe, but [...] truly scary [due to] his acceptance in the mainstream." He has also accused him of "exploit[ing] deep-rooted fears about citizenship and security," relying on "reprehensible, bigoted stereotyping of Islam [to] completely mischaracterize the beliefs of the overwhelming majority of the world's Muslim adherents." Levin went on to say that "his totalitarian proposals are not only practically preposterous but the most morally reprehensible that one could conceive of next to murder or forced conversion."<sup id="cite_ref-SPLC_26-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SPLC-26">[26]</a></sup> </p><p><i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a></i> reported that "[t]he success of Mr. Wilders highlights the difficulties faced by mainstream politicians across Europe in dealing with the rise of populists and <a href="/wiki/Extremist" class="mw-redirect" title="Extremist">extremists</a>: Include them and you have to take on board their unsavory policies; exclude them and end up increasing their appeal to protest voters."<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a></sup> </p><p>Commentators such as Maryam Namazie and Bahram Soroush have accused Wilders of lumping all immigrants from Muslim countries together as potential Islamists, even those who, in fact, left their countries to <i>escape</i> Islamism.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a></sup> In addition, he fails to mention that Christians and Jews also live in these countries and immigrate to western countries to escape islamism as well. </p><p>Ironically, Wilders received criticism from the opposite end of the spectrum from radical Islamists.
