Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders looks set to score a crushing victory over the ruling conservatives after his party opened up a commanding eight-point lead.

And the anti-euro Five Star Movement, which endured a farcical week after dallying with the liberals in the EU parliament, emerged from its fiasco unscathed to take a slender advantage over the sitting socialists.

The Netherlands is set to hold its next general election in March – just a month before the French presidential contest – and Mr Wilders, who has openly called for the end of the EU, is set to win comfortably.

His Party for Freedom is polling at 23 per cent, well ahead of prime minister Mark Rutte’s conservatives People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, on 15 per cent, meaning it will be the largest single party in parliament.
