Dutch Election Outcome
The recent election in the Netherlands has been deemed one of the best days for Europe's centrists in years.
Far-right populist Geert Wilders, who previously advocated for leaving the EU, lost nearly a third of his voters after a chaotic 11 months in coalition.
Meanwhile, pro-European liberal Rob Jetten surged in the final days of the campaign and stands a good chance of becoming prime minister at 38, making him the youngest person to hold the office since World War II and the first openly gay candidate.

said an EU diplomat, who wished to remain anonymous due to the political sensitivity of the subject.
