Dutch election winner Geert Wilders is considering rare forms of government in a bid to overcome coalition deadlock after two months of negotiations brought him nowhere.

“A majority cabinet has my preference but a minority cabinet under preconditions, and other options such as an extra-parliamentary cabinet are also a possibility,” Wilders said during a debate in parliament on Wednesday about his search for a cabinet. “Everything is open for discussion.”
