TL;DR Summary

The Dutch election is wide open as polling stations open, with four rival party leaders having a chance to win power. The far-right party of Geert Wilders, known for its anti-Islam and anti-EU stance, has experienced a sudden surge in support, putting it on par with the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD).

Wilders' return to power would be significant, as mainstream parties have previously refused to work with him.
