After they succesfully derailed the campaigns of the center right and a number of populist challengers the Dutch left is panicking.
Geert Wilders has suddenly surged in the polls with only 3 days to go until the election.
They don't understand that calling Wilders 'extreme right' doesn't work if their own voters march alongside raging anti-semites in Free Palestine protests.
Not to mention all their campaign messaging is about Frans Timmermans and the climate with some LGBTQ+ glitters sprinkled in.
But polls clearly show people care the most about healthcare, costs of living, housing and migration and the least about the climate.
So even if people agree with the left in general that the ruling liberal conservative parties messed up they switch to Wilders instead.
