The pro-business Dutch Liberal Party had 31 seats and the center-left Labor Party 30, with 98 percent of the votes counted. But the far-right Freedom Party led by Geert Wilders demanded a share of government after it came in third with 24 seats, more than doubling its representation in the 150-member Parliament.

You have to consider that this was a fringe party just a short while ago.

(and please note that despite it's name, the Dutch Liberal Party is center-right )
