Support for the anti-immigration PVV continues to decline and Geert Wilders’ party is now clearly behind the two Liberal parties D66 and the VVD, according to a new poll of polls.

The poll of polls, quoted by Nos television, puts the VVD and D66 on almost 17% support while the PVV is on 13.3%, together with the Socialists and Christian Democrats.

In October 2013, the PVV was the clear leader with almost 21%. In terms of seats in the 150-seat parliament, support has gone down from 31 to 20, Nos television said.

The poll of polls looks at the results of the country’s four biggest opinion polls. There is a two seat margin of error.

Trend

The PVV currently has 15 seats in parliament and is still in a better politicial position than after the 2012 general election. ‘It is not the case that its supporters have deserted it in droves but there is a downward trend,’ Peilingwijzer spokesman Tom Louwerse told the broadcaster.

The PVV lost one of its five European parliamentary seats in the recent elections and lost support in the March local vote.

Wilders is fighting to take up a seat in the European parliament alongside his Dutch parliamentary seat. A dual mandate is not currently possible under Dutch and EU rules.
