An Nos opinion poll on the day of the local elections puts Geert Wilders’ anti-Islam PVV in third place in the national vote.

The poll gives the Christian Democrats 29 seats, down 12 on their total seats at the 2006 general election. Labour, which pulled out of the cabinet two weeks ago, would be in second place on 27 seats, down six on their 2006 total.
Geert Wilders’ PVV would take 24 seats, up from nine at present, if there was a general election tomorrow.
Big loser is the Socialist party, which would retain just 11 of its 24 seats. Rita Verdonk and her Trots op Nederland (TON) movement would disappear from parliament.
