Exit polls in the Netherlands indicate that the anti-EU Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders has come third in elections for the European Parliament.<br /><br />Dutch public television reported that the party who had been leading opinion polls for months may have failed to secure second place, gaining around 12% of the vote trailing the Christian Democrats and the social-liberal D66 parties who were competing for the top spot.<br /><br />If Sunday’s official count confirms the exit polls, Wilders’ party will gain three of the 26 Dutch seats in Brussels.
