1. Two crucial factors contributing to the “shock” victory of Geert Wilders’ far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Dutch elections on 22 November 2023 were:– an overdose of right-wing appeasement strategies by established parties in previous years and, – the peculiarities of the fragmented Dutch party landscape.
