  • Belgian here. We have not fallen to fascism. I would not call NVA extreme right, just right. That would be Vlaams Belang, who also got a lot of votes to be fair but they’re not part of the government coalition because none of the other parties want to work with those nutcases. There is a coalition of parties. Because we have a healthy number of parties to vote for, no single party ever gets the majority vote. Five parties just signed a coalition agreement. That’s why Belgium has the record for being the longest without a government. It takes a long time for these parties to come to an agreement but it also means more balanced policies. Things change slowly in Belgian government, we don’t get big swings from left to right. But that doesn’t make for good headlines.
