AMSTERDAM — A hard right-wing government including the anti-Islam party of populist Geert Wilders emerged as an increasing possibility Thursday, as Dutch voters weighed the inconclusive outcome of a national election.

The returns from balloting Wednesday split votes roughly evenly between parties that want to make severe budget cuts and continue a crackdown on immigration, and those that want to integrate Muslims and preserve the benefits of a generous welfare state.

Neither group commands a majority, and analysts foresee a tricky coalition-building process that could run into the weeks or months.
