The Netherlands is set to get its first openly gay prime minister, Rob Jetten, following strong results in the country's recent election, which saw his party gain 17 seats, and Geert Wilders' far-right party lose 11.

Well look at that, Europe may finally be turning the page on right wing populists.

France and England rejected their alt-right parties, and with the Netherlands following suit I am hoping the Trump effect will help reset politics on the old continent back to more moderate viewpoints.

Note the far right part they refer to is the second biggest with only a 15k difference in votes at the time of writing.
