Pro Dutch party sweeps election
A Dutch anti-Islam party has more than doubled its seats in parliament in a national vote, though it is unclear if it will take part in a coalition.
Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders said he wanted to be part of government.
The election saw the centre-right Liberal Party (VVD) emerging as the largest party, one seat ahead of the centre-left Labour Party.
The Christian Democrat party of outgoing Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende suffered a big defeat.

Mr Wilders has campaigned to stop the “Islamisation of the Netherlands”.
He wants the Koran banned, and has suggested a tax on headscarves worn by Muslim women.
