CNN —Populist firebrand Geert Wilders has conceded that he will not become the next prime minister of the Netherlands because his potential coalition backers have refused to back him.
“I can only become Prime Minister if ALL parties in the coalition support it.
Similarly, Swedish Prime Minister Ulif Kristersson relies on the votes of the increasingly Euroskeptic, anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats.
Despite admitting defeat this time, Wilders pledged to continue his push to become prime minister in the future.
“Don’t forget: I will still become Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
