The problem is when the other parties' response is a cordon sanitaire, you can't get into the government, not even with 35%. Eventually people will lose faith and vote for alternative rightist parties that don't focus on islam.

Yesterday it has happened to Vlaams Belang which fell back to where they were in 2004. The loss of votes went to two new players, LDD (Dedecker who targets traditional liberal party and is a spin off) and NVA (De Wever and his New Flemish Alliance which is closest to VB but leaves topics such as islam out of its program). Together they have roughly 40% of the votes.

But Belgium is relative different because of the tension between north and south, the Netherlands doesn't have that problem. That's why Wilders wants to see the Dutch part of Belgium corporated into the Netherlands.
