Geert Wilders' PVV is ready to rule on behalf of Henk and Ingrid - Main contents

After three years 'practising in parliament', the PVV is ready to rule, party leader Geert Wilders said on Friday at the presentation of the party's manifesto for the June 9 general election.

'The PVV wants to join in but the party's influence must be substantial, otherwise there is no point in being in the cabinet,' Wilders said. 'The bigger we are, the bigger the chance we end up in government.'

The PVV is doing it for Henk and Ingrid - the average Dutch couple who form the 'heart and spine of society' but are being unfairly treated and sidelined by the 'political elite', Wilders said.
