Before the election I would have said unlikely, because both NSC and VVD ruled out a coalition with PVV. Afterwards the NSC already caved to "respect the choice of the voters" and the VVD also did not make a clear statement.

To add to this, even during the campaign the leader of the VVD (neo-liberal party) didn't exclude the possibility of working with Wilders like the former PM of the VVD always did. I think this helped Wilders a lot.

She did not exclude a coalition, if the VVD got more votes. Now that Wilders would become prime minister, they are more hesitant about it.

Hesitant but they’re gonna cave at some point I’m sure. Either that or they’re going to negotiate a deal for the VVD leader to become PM to give the PVV some other thing they want.

I agree. The VVD is too power-hungry not to form a coalition with the PVV

That sucks. Thanks for the insight.
