Dutch cancellation survey with a surprising result

In addition to christian and social democrats, the wilders party seems to have lost votes — as winners are forecasting left liberals, postmaotists and other

In the great britain and the netherlands, the european elections took place yesterday. However, the official result should be announced on sunday night only on sunday night if the 26 other eu countries have also coordinated.
