Despite lacking affiliation to any particular political party, Schoof, the former intelligence chief, was able to ascend to the prime minister position. Wilders’ comments on Ukraine also add to the uncertainty around the Netherlands’ role in international conflicts. Like President Trump’s hold on the Republican Party, Wilders has complete control over the agenda of his party, the PVV, having established his party to formally be classified as a one-member institution. Thus, the party is technically not considered a political party, but a single person engaged in political activities, solely dictating the views and actions of the party. As parallels between Wilders and Trump emerge, questions about the future of the Netherlands have also arisen.
