Merry Christmas...Belgium has a new Government!

For now that is.....in a few months we'll be right back where we started.

Belgium proves that we really don’t need government. It’s been six months since an inconclusive election, and only now have they finally cobbled together a government of sorts, but only an “interim” administration to be followed by another “interim” administration.

Nothing suggests that the two sides are ready to agree. Nothing suggests that Leterme – who has shown himself brutally insensitive to the concerns of the Francophone 40 per cent of the country – is the right man to lead Belgium towards a more trusting relationship between Flemings and Walloons.

Although I don't know if their is a "politician" alive who can do that.

Madame Non says Oui!

IN THE "WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER DEPARTMENT" An interim government seemed as far away as ever on Tuesday when Joëlle Milquet's Francophone Christian democrats pulled out of the talks. But Madame Non said "oui" for the first time in her life and Joëlle Milquet emerged from the meeting at around 2:15 am and told waiting journalists that her party would be joining the interim government.

Flemish Christian democrats and the Francophone socialists wanted the Francophone Christian democrats to be part of any interim government. Furthermore, their support would be necessary to obtain the two-thirds majority required to get constitutional reform measures through parliament.

if you understand any of this......you are a sick individual! STORY
