#2 Less than 20% of the vote. Not that impressive.

#3 I think that's a percentage that will grow.

#4 They reached a critical political momentum. Major parties in a country use innumerable tricks to marginalize third parties, including the rather rude prosecution of leaders on contrived charges.

However, when third parties get a foothold, a lot of these barriers disintegrate, because one of the major parties gets nervous, and fears payback. So don't be surprised if the charges are dropped against Wilders.

The PVV will keep the momentum by being stubborn and intolerant. If they keep growing, their next success would be "broker" power, so that the major parties can only win against each other with their help.

#5 The PVV will keep the momentum by being stubborn and intolerant.

Ima startin' to think that a little stubborn intolerance is a necessary counterbalance to submissive suicidal buffoonery.

#6 I seem to ave read somewhere that here in the USA the MSM doesn't even mention 3rd parties unless they received at least 20% of the vote in the prior election (unless its a split from an existing party - see Ross Perot).
