On 17 March the Netherlands will go to the polls in the 2021 Dutch general election. In this episode of World Review from the New Statesman, Emily Tamkin in Washington, DC and Ido Vock in Berlin are joined by Pepijn Bergsen, a research fellow in the Europe Programme at Chatham House, to discuss what this vote might hold.
