The Netherlands is set to see its most far-right government in decades after the populist leader Geert Wilders announced his anti-immigrant Party for Freedom is forming a coalition with three other parties, six months after their victory in parliamentary elections.

Wilders is still expected to wield significant power over Dutch politics. A crackdown on asylum seekers is widely expected.
