AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -Dutch politician Geert Wilders on Wednesday said that forming a minority government with himself as prime minister is a possibility, following last week's election in which his Freedom Party (PVV) won the most seats.

Speaking to reporters after his first meeting with the "scout" appointed to handle the initial phase of what are expected to be lengthy coalition talks, Wilders said he would be "strong but reasonable" in discussions with potential partners.
