You know it’s not all good times and pasvragen, but I can’t help get the inpresssion from De Mol, through its really good casting, that the Flanders region of Netherlands is filled with really nice, cosmopolitan people. Katt and I sometimes quarter-joke about moving there, a sentiment just slightly more serious than living under the sea.
But no, of course not. It’s a real country with real people.
For the first time, the Flemish far-right Vlaams Belang is expected to become the largest party with 26 of 150 seats in the federal parliament, and is polling first at around 26 per cent in Flanders.Though Vlaams Belang talks a lot about secession, the article says most of their would-be voters don’t care about that. I guess they’re into the other right wing values.
All that said, in the US, Vlaams Belang would probably get 49-51% of the vote.
