Geert Wilders said in a televised interview that a strong showing by his Dutch Freedom Party in the March elections means politicians in the Netherlands won’t be able to ignore him.

“If the voter makes the PVV really big, and I’m not talking about two or three extra seats, but really big, then they will have to” work with him, he said, using the party’s Dutch acronym, in an interview Sunday on WNL. “You cannot put 2 to 2.5 million people aside. That would be very unwise.”
