Far-Right Surge In Dutch Election Overshadows Reforms

10 June, 2010
AMSTERDAM (Dow Jones)--A surge of support for a far-right party with an anti-immigration focus has left the Netherlands facing the prospect of a hamstrung four-party coalition government.

Geert Wilders' Freedom Party--which almost tripled its number of seats in the 150-member parliament, going to 24 from nine--is likely to prove a thorn in the side of any coalition government that emerges from Wednesday's elections.

The surge in support for the Freedom Party trumped most forecasts and left mainstream parties with difficult coalition talks that economists fear could mean delays and compromises on budget cuts and economic reform.
