SOUNDBITE (English) Geert Wilders, Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker: "It's an insult to the voters because before the elections the voters are in charge. After the elections, politicians can do their vote what they want, but before, it's an insult to the voters. Everybody in Holland now is looking out for the elections on Wednesday who should I vote for. And I hope they will vote for the party that suits them the best, not for strategic and technical reasons but just for a party they believe in. And it's an insult to them to tell them not to vote for A or B because they won't join with them. So I hope people will vote with their hearts and with their minds so that at the end of the day, my party will become the biggest and then we will deal with all the other parties." 10. Wide of media and supporters gathering around a bar during the election coverage 11. SOUNDBITE (English) Geert Wilders, Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker: "We are really at a cross point today. Are we continuing with open border policy to give our nation away, or do we stand up and say no, and fight for the rights and the identity of our own people and we choose the latter and I hope the majority of the people will do the same in a few days in Holland as well." 12. Mid of Geert Wilders 13. SOUNDBITE (Dutch) Kathrina van Dam, Wilders supporter: "Absolutely, absolutely. Change is needed in the country. And that's what this man stands for." 14.

If it doesn't go well, the citizen will come after them." 16. Wide of Wilders surrounded by police and supporters STORYLINE: The Netherlands is heading back to the polls less than two years after far-right firebrand Geert Wilders led his Party for Freedom (PVV) to a stunning victory in the Dutch parliamentary elections. The anti-Islam lawmaker who has lived under round-the-clock protection for more than 20 years triggered the snap elections in June by hauling his PVV ministers out of a fractious four-party ruling coalition in a dispute over a crackdown on immigration. The government led by Dick Schoof, a civil servant hand picked by Wilders to become prime minister, went down in history as one of the Netherlands' shortest-lived administrations and was notorious for in-fighting among its members. Wilders' party leads polls as the voting day nears, but even if he manages to win again, he is unlikely to manage to piece together a coalition, as many mainstream parties have ruled out working with him. Other more mainstream parties also have included moves to cut migration in their manifestos as the issue cuts across political fault lines. Violent protests against new asylum-seeker centers have broken out in recent months in towns and villages across the Netherlands.
