The Dutch parliamentary system seems to be a lot more robust against fascist take-overs than say the USA or the UK. Sure, there were headlines that Wilders had won the last election, allowing him to take part in a coalition government with 3 other parties. But that didn't give him the chance to turn the Netherlands into another Hungary, or to leave the EU. They just spent their time in arguments until Wilders forced a new election, and it seems he has lost support.
