The party of an anti-Islam, anti-migration politician is celebrating a massive parliamentary election victory in the Netherlands.

The result puts far-right lawmaker Geert Wilders in line to lead talks to form a new governing coalition, and possibly become prime minister.

Wilders, who’s been labeled a Dutch version of Donald Trump in the past, beat all pre-election predictions.

His Freedom Party won 37 seats out of 150, well ahead of the other two runner ups, including the party of the outgoing Prime Minister.
