Belgium's days numbered?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Nah, people lost interest. Has nothing to do with the Cordon, not directly anyway. As said before, had the Cordon not be installed, VB would have been down and out ages ago.
Actually I always thought the aim of the cordon sanitaire was to have people lose their interest in VB, but then that might just be my take on it.

Agree with Dedecker being just the one drawing people's attention these days though. Still, I'd rather see him in a government than VB...
well if we're going into politics why not. I have always been a Verhofstadt follower (liked the teeth :lol: :lol:) however during the latest elections for presidency of the at that time VLD I voted against Somers and for Dedecker (yes you can hit me for that, I am a member). Since mr somers is running the show although he's just a puppet they they moved far too much to the left in my opinion leaving a whole bunch of people in the cold, almost pushing to VB (which i hate). Starting from that point of view i was quite happy when dedecker started his own party. It is a 1man show I agree, bet he never thougth the project would be as big as it is now. More and more people will be attracted to his roadshow and ya must give the man credit, the things the man did, he did good (judo, business)

Major point is that he migth be able to stop to continuous growth of the VB, something that the other parties couldn't do or wanted to do.

My guess is indeed that next elections he'll be having a +10% party and in the end they will need to hear him and at that stage it will be clear very soon whether LDD is just a balloon full of air or whether he actually migth bring somepositive vibes. pfft :notworthy: :notworthy: way to go jean marie 8) 8)

You people don't see the big picture.

The big picture:

- The sissies play an average of 1 gig a year in Belgium.
- Mr Headsister seems to like Belgium
- if Belgium is splitted, it will be in 3 pieces

So, the optimist in me thinks: hell yeah, that means we will have 3 gigs a year for sure in TLFKABBNSITDC (The land formerly known as Belgium but now splitted in three different countries). :innocent: :innocent: :innocent:

So, where do I need to sign? ;D

hey if that would be the result, i'd be all up for splitting this country! 8)
although in that case, i'd split it up in to the 10 provinces + brussels, we'd get a real TLFKABBNSITDC-sisters tour then... ;D
