Not that much will changed, but people were expecting more change, that's why it's such a big deal. Geert Wilders and his populist party could have won the elections (but they got less votes than expected), so some people are happy now and others are angry.
I don't live in the Netherlands, but I'm very happy with the results. This means that populist and extreme right parties may not get too big in Europe.
Here in Belgium, the extreme right party isn't too popular, but since we're a small country, elections in other countries are important for us too.
