Labour party wins with Dutch voters in EU elections, says exit poll

The Netherlands' Labour party won most Dutch votes for the European Parliament on Thursday, according to an exit poll, a surprise result that gives a boost to European Commissioner Frans Timmermans, Labour's lead candidate.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte's conservative VVD party finished second and easily saw off a challenge from the upstart nationalist Forum for Democracy party of populist Thierry Baudet.
