As Wilders goes out with a bit of a whimper, has the populist tide turned in Europe?

Presenter Ed Butler gets the view of another populist politician, Laurent Jacobelli of the French party Debout la France, which like Wilders' PVV party wants to reimpose border controls and limit immigration into their country.

Meanwhile, the 91热爆's Rob Young reports live from Amsterdam on the reaction to the election results, and speaks to financial strategist Padhraic Garvey of ING Bank about the further polarisation of Dutch politics between pro- and anti-Europeans.

Also in the programme, Radhika Vaz on her delight at the arrival of Playboy in a prudish India.
