I'm not sure you understand the mechanics of the election in the NL. The parties campain for seats in the Tweede Kamer, and no party will win a clear majority of seats. Therefore a coalition government will have to be formed among the leading parties. The other leading parties have refused to work with Wilders due to his anti-Muslim statements, and recent polls have shown fewer expected seats for the PVV. In no way has the election been handed to PVV.

Geert isn't going to 'win' the election. Unless he manages to fill the government entirely with only his party, which is exceedingly unlikely, there's no one who will want to co-govern with the man.
Oh please, just like "the Russians" handed Trump his win?
