Far-right Dutch firebrand Geert Wilders on Wednesday announced that he and the leaders of three right-wing parties have finally come to agreement over the formation of a coalition government.

Wilders, who will not serve as prime minister, said, "We have a negotiators' agreement." It has been reported that the parties will vote on whether to approve the deal later today.

The staunchly anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim Wilders won a shock victory in the Netherlands' parliamentary elections six months ago but had been unable to form a government.
