mark rute: Common sense and the centrist' Dutch prime minister had survived, according to Toronto Star. But drill down just a little and a different picture emerges. JOHN THYS / AFP/GETTY IMAGES By Robin V. Sears Sun., March 19, 2017 The headline across the continent this week was, Europe Breathes a Sigh of Relief. Yes, conservative Mark Rute did survive, but he lost 25 per cent of his caucus. The real winner, however, despite the media hysteria pre-election day was not Geert Wilders, who won only five new seats. The biggest loser was the Dutch Labour party, which lost 75 per cent of its MPs. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
