Not to mention that Bart de Wever has announced he will be running for mayor of Antwerp (and also run the Antwerp 10 miles)

Sometimes for a few seconds I dream of a dictatorship just to get rid of all the drama. Too bad there are no good dictators.

No! I'll revolt against Fuchs!

@ voting: I understand you're a bit lost, and also that you don't wat nazis, but what is against eco awareness? You don't want a planet to live on?  ???

Maybe they now finally decide not to buy those overprized and never-to-be-finished JSFs. That would solve a great deal of our economical problems.

I don't know a lot about politics in detail in belgium, besides that it is fucked up. Do some (right, nationalist) parties still want to split your country ? Have you guys personally problems with the different or maybe just pseudo-different cultures in belgium?
And what are the parties opinions at the moment. Does the majority of the parties want it to split or 50/50 or what is going on ?

Sorry for that many questions but I lost the overview over time and I am interested if belgium is going to exist the way it does today in the future.

Yeah, trouble is the contracts with our industry that made us pick it in the first place. Ugly plane anyway, I liked the Swedish one, or was it the Czech.

I say, first thing: Cut this ridiculous mortgage rental benefit. Why it is not being restored to its original intend is a mystery to me. So 'starters' can buy a first house more easily and with fewer financial risk. Right now its only a benefit from which well off people buy (psst, LOAN) even more stuff that they don't need, at all.

I like my country, but man, we are so much like bunnies in the headlights. Debating bunnies, even worse.

For now however, /pop 8)

You do realize that if we bail out now we have to pay a very expensive fine AND lose all the money we already pumped in it? We should have stopped years ago, it is too late now.. Don't get me wrong, I don't want those fighters either but it's very stupid to walk down a 500KM road and say let's go back when the counter hits 350KM.

Ecological awareness is all fine and dandy, but I am Fuchs and I do not give a rat's ass about the environment due to eco-nazi's. Ecological laws are beyond my understanding, as is most forcing rules or tax reliefs. So ecological+ cars do not have to pay roadtaxes. Where is the sense in that? Do these cars magically float above the tarmac? And don't get me started on Staatsbosbeheer, you thought the German occupation was bad? Try making a living in a forest. It's not that I don't like nature, it's the way people shove it in your face that I just want to stop giving a single fuck about it.

Gezoes, I really thought the PvdA was the true babyboomer party. Anyways, Dutch politics are a mess. There's no party for me, not a true liberal or light-libertarian party. VVD are not liberals and all that D66 cares about is bashing Wilders. And they are too left on some matters.

Well, truth is we don't really know what the hell is going on ourselves, the majority of voters has been neglected and we are now ruled by a minority with support of the Italian maffia from Mons. N-VA got about 40% of the votes 2 years ago and there have been rumours going around that the traditional parties want to make a cordon sanitaire around N-VA, i.e. banning it to the opposition for eternity.
The great Irony is that the Walloons themselves came with the idea of splitting the country, albeit satirical, the N-VA has no real plans of splitting, they want to try a confederacy first.And if the country would ever split, Wallonia would become a third world country with only FN Herstal as the major industry. And the Walloons are in a whole lot of trouble now because of the apparent selling of arms to rogue states like Libya, Syria and whatnot.

 I can only laugh, the EU is crumbling.

 Btw @ Fuchs,
 Nobody told your queen to fuck off. The Prime Minister resigned and rightfully so, why bother when nobody will follow his leadership.  Just close your borders and revert to the guilder, your country will do just fine as long as the special interests are given the kick in the ass that they sorely need.


 @ Slayer, The JSF is a separate matter but the truth is that you havent even bought them yet so why fixate on money you havent spent when the real issues lie in generous social benefits and the commensurate social expectations that they create. If you want to bring up military spending, the Dutch navy has been the largest beneficiary recently yet they are not being held to many spending restrictions. (mind you this relates to the generous social benefits, build ships at home supporting overpaid workers and it only creates larger debt)


 As always, the Conservatives will win and then everyone is fucked...

 your reply embodies the issues that surround multi-party systems that are based upon proportional representation. The right to vote is a privilege not a right and many, many, people the world over cannot be bothered to actually exercise that privilege.
