Dutch voters are casting their ballots today in a knife-edge general election, following a campaign intensely focused on migration, a severe housing crisis, and the contentious prospect of mainstream parties working with anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders. His Party for Freedom aims to repeat its stunning victory from two years ago.
The election unfolds against a backdrop of deep polarisation within the nation of 18 million, further exacerbated by recent violence at an anti-immigration rally in The Hague and protests across the country against new asylum-seeker centres.
