Dutch PM claims win over 'wrong kind of populism'

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has claimed a dominating election victory over anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders, who failed the year's first test for populism in Europe.

Provisional results with over half the votes counted suggested Mr Rutte's party won 32 seats in the 150-member legislature, 13 more than Mr Wilders' party, which took only third place with 19. The surging CDA Christian Democrats claimed 20.
