Former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage joined Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Jackson, Mississippi, Wednesday. Commenting on Brexit, Farage stated "We made June the 23rd our independence day, when we smashed the establishment." He went on to slam Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton saying "I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if you'd pay me. In fact I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if she'd pay me."
Geert Wilders is splashed across Dutch newspapers, as his far-right party has won most seats in the Netherlands' election, according to near-complete results. The country's fragmented political system means months of talking will be needed before the next government is formed. IMAGES
The anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders cuts into a cake to celebrate the results of the Netherlands' general election, where his far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) gained 37 seats and became the largest party in parliament. Wilders, 60, now has the daunting task of trying to form a working coalition, courting rivals that categorically ruled out serving in a PVV-led government before the vote. The unexpected landslide win prompted immediate congratulations from fellow far-right leaders in France and Hungary but will likely raise fears in Brussels -- Wilders is anti-EU and wants a vote on a "Nexit" to leave the bloc.
