June 10th, 2010

A woman casts her vote at a polling station set up in the the living room of the Westhoff family in Marle, eastern Netherlands, Wednesday, June 9, 2010. About 70 people live in the small community, the polling station has been in the living room since 1948 elections. Voters go to the polls in elections offering a choice between a Labor Party preaching traditional Dutch tolerance and a slew of right-leaning parties advocating a crackdown on immigration. The free-market VVD party leads polls thanks to its strong economic credentials. (AP Photo/Vincent Jannink)AP - The pro-business VVD party claimed victory in Dutch elections early Thursday, as voters in the Netherlands continued a Europe-wide shift to the political right and rewarded parties that pledged to cut government spending and discourage immigration.
