Is the (tight) victory of Rob Jetten in the Netherlands a signal that (1) a centrist program can still win against the far right, or (2) being charismatic and young can carry the day? (Probably a mix of the two, but still lessons to be drawn)

A 4-party coalition will be on the cards, which is a concern because such coalitions are unstable. Wilders, obviously, has no chance of governing, but still represents a significant part of the electorate. So, this is another concern: while Jetten's party leans left, voters generally voted to the right. Good luck Rob!
