Next year, around october 2012, there will be local town and city council elections in Belgium. It is assumed that the NV-A will advance rapidlly, more so cause the other parties dropped the NV-A during the last federal negociations, also many Flemish are tired of the same old song. The Flemish parties besides NV-A promise change, more Flanders and we get the opposite, more Belgium, more bureaucracy and more inefficiency followed by more taxes.
Now with less then 1 year before the next town and council elections the old grand parties are forming so called 'city list', coallitions that include all 'democratic' parties except the NV-A.
This not illegal, parties are allowed to form coallitions, but in the way they do it now looks a litlle more like rigging the elections.
The sum of the expected outcome of the elections for the parties is over 50%, so in the cities they form these cities list they'll be assured to continue, while it is expected that the NV-A could go as high as 40% in most cities.
So all and all this is another proof that democracy in Belgium is evaporating, with even the traditional Flemish parties not even intrested in defending the Flemish
