There's still no government, but what the heck, in the meantime you can play with wannabe prime minister turned into horrible failure Yves Leterme making a government by eating his Wallon opponents Leterminator-style Pacman-style.

You know, I can't actually *remember* who I voted for, it's such a long time ago.

I do remember who I voted for, but in the end it didn't matter anyway.

There was an interesting article about the current situation in today's Guardian.

They do tend to quote the extremes: both Bart De Wever and Filip Dewinter are Flemish nationalists. They don't talk about all the more tempered voies writing opinions that show the big gaping holes in seperatist ideas.

I believe this whole mess bottles down to parties winning the elections on regional themes, because they only adhere to one region. There wasn't one party who had a decent federal program.

And there's also a big lack of vision. Living in Brussels I kinda end up in the middle of all the talk. A vision for Brussels? Not really. Btw the Brussels melting pot does have some people from Central Africa, but mainly consists of people from Northern Africa. Most of the kids at my schools are from Moroccon and Turkish descent.

It's crazy.

BTW isn't there a guy who is selling Belgium on ebay ?

Probably. But can you sell something that isn't yours? :-)
