Wilders Urges Coalition Talks After Dutch Election
Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Freedom Party, wants to work with other parties after next week's election.
He's asking them to reconsider their refusal to team up with him.
He believes the voters should decide the government, not just the other parties.
An opinion poll shows his party might win, but other parties have already said they won't join a coalition with him.
Wilders is worried that if the other parties ignore the voters' choice, it would be bad for democracy.
The Christian Democrat leader believes Wilders might not get to govern.
The poll projects the Freedom Party winning 26 seats in the 150-seat Lower House.
Geert Wilders, leader of the Freedom Party (PVV), is urging other party leaders to reconsider working with him.
The election is set for next week to determine the next Dutch government.
Wilders believes the voters are in charge, not the other parties.
The PVV is projected to win 26 seats in the Lower House, according to an Ipsos poll.
Other party leaders have ruled out forming a coalition with Wilders.
