Poll puts Wilders far-right party on par with Liberals

A new opinion poll in the Netherlands shows Geert Wilderss anti-Islam, anti-EU Freedom Party neck-and-neck with the Liberals, led by prime minister Mark Rutte, as the threat posed by returning Islamic State jihadists replaces the MH17 air disaster at the top of the national agenda.

A weighted average of the countrys four main political polls shows the Liberals losing three seats compared with a month ago, and the Freedom Party gaining three. The poll has the Liberals and the Freedom Party each taking between 25 and 29 seats, an outcome a long way from Mr Ruttes high of 41 seats in the 2012 general election and from the lacklustre 15 won by Mr Wilders.

The public reacted very well to the way the Rutte government handled the aftermath of the MH17 crash and managed to get the vast majority of the bodies repatriated, says political scientist Tom Louwerse of pollster Peilingwijzer.

The Rutte approval factor predictably benefited the Liberals more than the junior coalition partners, Labour, and so there was a spike in the Liberal support that lasted into September but that has now, apparently, worked itself through.

The beneficiary of that working through has been Mr Wilders and the Freedom Party, which, despite approaching the European elections in May on a high, fared not as well as expected after an uncharacteristic gaffe that saw Mr Wilders leading anti-Moroccan chants at an election rally.

The commotion surrounding that chanting, and the Freedom Party resignations that followed, has now died down, Mr Louwerse says. The popularity of the government is dwindling again and the threat of attack posed by returning jihadists with connections to Islamic State gives Wilders a stronger profile.

What is most interesting about this poll, he adds, is the degree to which conservative voters routinely switch allegiance between the Liberals (centre-right on economic matters) and the Freedom Party, depending on topical issues.

For the junior coalition party, Labour, there is little change in the unimpressive 13-17 seats, compared with the 38 seats they took in 2012. By contrast, centre-left D66 again did well, with 20-24 seats, .

As the poll was published, there was more unpopular news as finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem confirmed that a 642 million EU surcharge based on gross domestic product growth is probably correct, according to an initial analysis.

Vic Liberals to preference Greens last

Victorian Premier Denis Napthine says the Liberal Party will preference the Greens last.

Both major parties have shunned the Greens in the Victorian election, although the minor party thinks it can win the Labor-held seat of Melbourne in its own right.

Premier Denis Napthine said on Thursday the Liberal Party would preference the Greens last in all seats, saying they were bad for the economy and Victoria.

And Labor has rejected a formal preference deal with the Greens, but says it could still swap votes on a seat-by-seat basis to maximise the chances of booting the coalition from government on November 29.

Melbourne Greens candidate Ellen Sandell, who will fight to win the seat that Labor holds by 4.7 per cent, said the Liberals' comments were unsurprising.

"We've always planned to win without preferences within our own right, just like (federal Greens MP) Adam Bandt did with a seven per cent swing," she told AAP.

Ms Sandell said it was no surprise the major parties were trying to keep the Greens out but they could win without them.

"It's also no surprise that Napthine and Abbott would prefer to have a Labor MP here in Melbourne rather than the Greens because they know that Labor will roll over on the East West toll road, they'll roll over on privatisation of TAFE, they won't shut down our dirtiest coal power stations and replace them with renewables," she said.

Dr Napthine said the Liberal Party would put the Greens last in all lower house seats, but was unclear whether it would put them below controversial conservative parties, such as Rise Up Australia, on how-to-vote cards for the upper house.

"If there's extremist candidates, we will consider putting them below the Greens," he said.
