This Radio Netherlands report gives something to cheer about. Geert wilders and his PVV (Freedom Party) has picked up 32 seats in a recent poll. The Hague parliament has 150 seats.

Note this comment in the Radio Netherlands report:

The Freedom Party of populist right-wing leader Geert Wilders has climbed again in the polls, this time to a record of 32 seats in the 150-seat parliament. The Freedom Party is in first place and is now four seats ahead of the Christian Democrats, the largest of the three parties in the governing coalition. Pollster Maurice de Hond attributes the rise in popularity to his departure from a parliamentary debate on Thursday. He walked out of the debate in a huff, describing the debate on the economic crisis as "a sham".

His ratings began to soar in February, when the British government refused to allow him to enter the country. Sixty percent of voters who describe themselves as right-wing say they will vote for Wilders' Freedom Party.

Geert Wilders and his Freedom Part are significantly up in Dutch polls. A nice spike, as we'd say here in the US. It looks like the Dutch have gotten some spine. Wilders stock among his fellow Dutchmen has soared. Especially since one of their has gained notoriety for telling it like it is about the threat of Islamization in Europe.  They like his 'chutzpah'. They likely detest his shabby treatment by the oh, so PC Labor party minions in the Gordon Brown Whitehall government in the U.K.  who prevented his entry at London's Heathrow airport for a House of Lords meeting that never occurred. We trust these favorable poll results will bode well for Geert Wilders and the Freedom Party campaign for seats in the EU parliamentary elections in early June. We hope the Dutch supreme court, currently reviewing a motion to dismiss the infamous Amsterdam appeals court  criminal decision,  will rule in Wilders favor thereby scoring a landmark victory against Islamic defamation advocates in Holland and elsewhere. We hope that may be the result given recent Dutch Supreme court rulings vis a vis the religious defamation issue.

Wilders has demonstrated his mettle in spreading the anti-Jihad message in Eurabia and here in America. 

This Dutch poll is encouraging as it appears his message is gaining ground among his fellow countrymen.
