Geert Wilders: Winner

Freedom Party Dept: AMSTERDAM - While the winner of the Dutch national elections is not yet certain, the biggest loser appears certain to be Geert Wilders, the leader of the anti-Europe, anti-immigration Freedom Party, according to Winnipeg Free Press. According to exit polls, his party lost 11 seats in parliament, falling from 24 to 13 and freedom Party lawmaker Geert Wilders, center, surrounded by bodyguards, fills out his ballot for parliamentary elections at a polling station in The Hague, Netherlands, Wednesday Sept. 12, 2012. Dutch voters could change their country's course in tackling the debt crisis when they elect a new parliament Wednesday in a test of whether European voters have the stomach to continue with stringent austerity measures.
