Geert Wilders: How popular is the Dutch anti-immigration politician?

In the Netherlands many polls are predicting the maverick anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV) will win the European elections being held on 22 May.

So what is it that makes him so attractive to Dutch voters? Anna Holligan took a spin around The Hague to find out.
