Support for the
anti-immigration PVV has reached an all-time high, according to the
latest poll of polls carried out for broadcaster Nos. The poll, based
on an aggregate of five other opinion surveys, says the PVV would win
between 33 and 37 seats in the 150-seat parliament if there were a
general election tomorrow. This is a rise of six seats on a month
ago. The result means Geert Wilders’ party now has the support of
up to 25% of the population. The PVV has 15 seats in the current
parliament. Compiler Tom Louwerse told Nos that such sharp rises are
very unusual in the poll of polls because it uses the results of
several different surveys. The rise in PVV support has flattened off
in the previous two weeks, he said, which could indicate the party
has now peaked. The increase in PVV support would appear to be at the
expense of the Socialists and right-wing Liberal VVD, both of which
have lost support. French poll Meanwhile, a survey carried out by the
French polling institute Ifop indicates that 92% of the Dutch think
refugees should be sent home as soon as possible. Ifop looked at
attitudes to refugees in Denmark, France, Britain, Italy, Germany and
Spain as well as the Netherlands. The survey found that almost
two-thirds of the Dutch, French and Italians think their countries
are so full that there is no more room for refugees. The Dutch were
also least likely to want to donate money to help refugees (77% said
no) or put up a refugee in their home (96% said no), the Parool
reports. In Spain, for example, 42% were prepared to donate money to
help. The results are based on a survey of just over 1,000 people in
each country.
