VB isn't a extreem right party but yust a regular right party, the media yust say they are extreem right. Before you go bashing remember that people are getting to quickly labbeld extremist or racists by the left cause it's an easy wapon to use... Would you label Sarkozy an right wing extremist? No I think not, but yet I heard my mother's aunt reffering to him as 'little Hitler' WTF?

Euh you do know VB supported apartheid, segregation of the society, curfews for the youth, taught women shouldn't work, were against the legalisation of soft drugs, had a very extreme immigration policy, wants to cut back tremendously on welfare and our social rights and privacy. I wouldn't be surprised some people call them a bit extreme.

combined with a narrow minded view on flanders(their are only 2million flemings in flanders, the rest are limburgers and brabanders)

I know the party and they are extreem right, there economic program (getting rid of the unions for example and curbing there power) to social (women stays at home as lots of children) to political (seperation of the state with an independant flanders) to there view on foreigners (everyone with a headscarf should be returned to there countrys of origin, no belgians with non belgian roots in gouv jobs,...) As for there own party themselves (leader for life, no change in the leadership for decades,...)

No Sarkozy isnt extreem right, but the Vlaams Belang is.

What party is "ruling" now?

VLD together with SP.a/Spirit

you must be kidding. most of the debt was incurred in the eighties during the joint rule of CVP (the then CD&V) and .... trrrrrrrrrrrrrr... PVV (the then VLD). Belgium must be famous for having the least successful liberals in the history of liberalism.

You just keep voting for them, sir, and in 20 years for now a perfectly functioning welfare state will be reduced to a miserable rubble, governed by a small class of superwealthy. for examples you can refer to the UK or, even further down the line the US and Russia.

And to all VB voters around here: reality is not a MTWII campaign map. Grow up.

CVP/CD&V Ruled from 58 up until 2000 , SP and PVV/VLD switched ovet time several times.
From 1960 to 1980 when the biggest part of the debt was created liberals rules with christian democrats about 8 years, while socialists rules for 12 years .

And If I look at bush he's creating debt just as fast :-)

So I stick to my point, the CD&V was the only party in control who rules for the whole period that the debt was created.

I never voted CD&V and once VLD . If it were up to SPA or other socialist partys the belgian economy would be down and the welfare state would be unpayable. Even now when more investments are needed all they can talk about is raising pensions, raising tax free brackets for the lower incoms, raising sunsidies for all sorts of things, ... And at the end 'when there is money over we might invest it in the economy'

And who will pay for that? Yep me, sorry I am paying enough as it is now.

Who cares? As long as they keep making the world's best beer.
