Don't worry about me - I have a Dutch passport and the immigration rules here forced me to renounce my British nationality.
Wilders has more problems with Dilan Yesilgoz, leader of the centre-right VVD (Rutte's party). She was born in Turkey and does have a double nationality. Her party is essential to Wilders if he wants to form a cabinet. Also Pieter Omzigt (NSC) has strong moral objections to Wilders' plans and he is also vital to any proposed government coalition.
There are going to be big problems in the formation of a workable coalition here and it is by no means certain that Geert Wilders will be able to become Prime Minister without him making enormous concessions and moderating his extremist standpoints.
