The Party for Freedom is Dutch and nationalist. Their front man is Geert Wilders has come in for major abuse from communist subversives of various stripes including the Labour government which banned him from England in 2009 and the judicial authorities in Holland.
The Party for Freedom (Dutch: Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV) is a Dutch right-wing political party. Founded in 2005 as the successor to Geert Wilders' one-man party in the House of Representatives, it won nine seats in the 2006 general election, making it the fifth largest party in parliament, and third largest opposition party. It came second in the 2009 European Parliament election, winning 4 out of 25 seats. In the 2010 general election it won 24 seats, making it the third largest party.With programme items like administrative detention and strong assimilationist stance on the integration of immigrants into Dutch society, the Party for Freedom breaks from the established centre right parties in the Netherlands (like the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD)). In addition, the party is consistently Eurosceptic. PVV is the name under which the foundation Stichting Groep Wilders operates. It has Geert Wilders as its sole member. This makes it unique in the Dutch parliament.
Geert Wilders Wilders was banned from entering the United Kingdom between 12 February 2009 and 13 October 2009 by the Labour government, the Home Office saying his presence would be a "threat to one of the fundamental interests of society". The ban was overturned after Wilders appealed and he visited the UK in October 2009, and again in March 2010 to show his film. In January 2009, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal ordered Wilders' prosecution for "incitement to hatred and discrimination". Wilders was acquitted of these charges on 23 June 2011.
