In the newspaper today I’ve read that there was a guy here that put Belgium up for sale at e-Bay.
As a Belgian myself, I fully understand him, we had to vote 100 days ago and untill now nothing has happened with our votes.
There’s still no governement and it’s not looking there’s going to be one soon.
The last time it took this long was on the last term of Wilfried Martens in 1988 I believe. Then it took 145 days or so to form a new governement.

Comparing to other countries Belgium is really complex. First of all we have 3 different languages here, Dutch, French and German.
But on political level it really gets complex. We have all kind of different parlements, Flemish, Normal, ...
And the most beautifull part of it is that it seems like nobody can make a decission without the other. If one parlement tells ‘this’, the other has to into the opposite way.
I think they make a sport out of it.

The reason why we don’t have a new governement by now to me is that the french speaking politicians are to stuburn to give in to the flemish politicians.
Everybody here’s talking about splitting Belgium up into 2 countries. Why did we vote 100 days back if no one is listening to our votes? Why can’t they just elect the politicians who got the most votes from the belgian people, is it to easy or what? Maybe it’s a nice solution, splitting Belgium, I’m sure it will have a lot of advantages for the flemish people, like no more money being transferred from ‘Vlaanderen’ (dutch speaking side) to ‘Wallonië’ (french speaking side).

In my eyes he created a fantastic joke, by putting Belgium up for sale, maybe he was thinking if the sale can go trough I can get old rich and enjoy the senior care in New York City.

Too bad e-Bay declined the offer, I really would love to see how much Belgium was worth.
