Wilders whines that its ‘constitutionally wrong’ that he must give up on becoming the next Dutch PM

FAR-RIGHT Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders whined today that it was unfair and “constitutionally wrong” he had to sacrifice his leadership aspirations in order to pave the way for a right-wing ruling coalition in the Netherlands.

This comes after his party won the most seats in November’s general election.

Mr Wilders said on Wednesday night that he was giving up his bid, at least for now, to become prime minister because he did not have the full support of all three parties he is negotiating with to form a right-wing coalition.
