Hopefully the Left wing governments in Europe will continue to fall like dominos. Sadly probably too late to stop the death of Europe by Islam https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/farright-antiislam-politician-geert-wilders-wins-dutch-election-in-stunning-victory/news-story/cc7d5bf1c3e54659a481b4b8e6e3ad64
With 35 out of 150 seats and no other party willing to work with him, not likely to be able to form government...
Well we'll have to wait and see, but from what I've read so far (and from what happened in the past) it doesn't seem likely. GL/PvdA (social democrats 25 seats); VVD (previous gov't - conservative liberals 24); NSC (new party - New Social Contract 20). These are all anti-Geert. He'd have to cobble together a lot of minor parties to counteract.

I'm a fan of Anthony Daniels, who writes for several publications as Theodore Dalrymple. Here's an excerpt from his latest blog: But why are all currencies rotten, albeit that the mutuality of their rottenness gives to the system whatever fragile stability it may have? Why must all governments emit more currency than growth in economic activity necessitates or justifies? We are all Peronists now. Juan Domingo Perón was in a sense a harbinger or herald of the modern world. He was a typical demagogue, in that his first victim, in the sense of believing what he said, was probably himself. He was not very intelligent, but his wife was beautiful, and that counted for a lot. Argentina was a rich and developed country, but it was not a paradise. Nowhere is; the only true paradise, said Marcel Proust, is the paradise lost. Despite its wealth, there was poverty in Argentina, and it was this that Perón set about reducing, thereby increasing it. A mixture of social reform, corporatism, and economic nationalism soon created a spiral, mainly downward, from which Argentina did not emerge for eighty years. Whether the newly elected president-designate, Sr. Milei, will succeed in breaking the cycle remains to be seen: I think it at least as likely that he will provoke civil conflict or even civil war as that he will succeed. The problem with downward spirals is that they create a population fearful of change. Where people believe in an economy as a zero-sum game, or as a cake of fixed size whose slices can only be enlarged at the expense of other slices, they become desperate to preserve their slice, no matter how small it is because of the very policies that have made it so. Thus, they want the continuation of the policy that guarantees them a slice, even if that slice is ever smaller and cannot expand. The fact that Peronists can still exist after eighty years is one of the wonders of the political world but is explicable by the mechanism cited above. This mechanism is far from inoperative in democracies more stable than Argentina’s. It is one of the reasons, perhaps the strongest, why countries find it so difficult to alter course, even though it is clearly leading to disaster. Another great political thinker and fine flower of the political class, the former prime minister of Luxembourg and president of the European Commission, who at least was not without wit, once put it succinctly: We all know what to do, we just don’t know how to get elected afterward.
