#2 In a sense, Good riddance.
At least to the Kleptokrats.

#3 The last time they tried holding a trial, the prosecution called for the case to be thrown out as baseless, and the judges were dismissed for bias. It will be very interesting to see what MP Wilders and his legal team do this time to tie the Powers That Be in knots.

#4 This trial, the more unfair it gets, may prove to be the best vote getter that Wilders' party could hope for.

Right now, they are not in the government, but the government has to consult with them, in exchange for support. This is the cat bird's seat of considerable power but no responsibility. Yet without publicity, they could fade from view.

Enter the trial. Every time they open their mouths at Wilders, it refreshes the public mind about his parties issues, and why the government is trying to persecute him unfairly, for stating the truth.

Win or lose, at this point he wins. If they convict him, at the next elections, his party will probably be the majority.
