Dutch election: Anti-Islam populist Wilders set for victory - exit poll

Veteran anti-Islam populist leader Geert Wilders is heading for a dramatic victory in the the Dutch general election, says an Ipsos exit poll.

After 25 years in the Dutch parliament, his Freedom party (PVV) is heading for 35 seats, according to the poll, well ahead of his nearest rival, a left-wing alliance.

"The PVV can no longer be ignored," he said. "We will govern."

If confirmed the result will shake Dutch politics.
