It's only one quarter of the seats, but because there's multiple parties that's enough for a plurality. Still, pathetic that there's even that level of support and it is higher than previously.

Hopefully the other parties have the sense to not support them in government. And indeed, that's what the article suggests:

But the heads of the three other biggest Dutch parties have all said they would not serve in a PVV-led cabinet.
