There is no crisis in Belgium... Yet the politicians said "crisis!" when it was left without one almost a year ago - leaving me thinking it was more a cry for "job security" than anything else. Do we really NEED politicians to lead a government if there is sufficient stability within borders and adequate administration of external affairs? Just how much do we need politicians to lead an administration if 99.9% is already taken care of by administrative controls or can be dealt with without political interference?

Simple answer. Who has the biggest population and government? What does Belgium have?

Politicians ARE running government, yesterday I attended a meeting of the Federal Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs, which proves that the previous government is doing a caretaker's job. The paradox with Leterme II is that it began to work after it fell... All the government institutions are still functioning perfectly, including parliament. And people also forget the Belgium is a federation and that the regional governments are still up and running. It has nothing to do with size or population, like some idiots tend to say.

Your question should be what is the point in elections in a country like Belgium? The people voted and yet a year later they still ain't seeing those they voted for in power. Would you really like that level of apathy in your country? Wanna have a feel of what life in Belgium is really like? This blog might be an eyeopener... here's a taster: 'High marks for inefficiency Belgium is one of the most expensive countries to live in and has the lowest return on investment in terms of quality of life when comparing government spending and the Human Development Index ranking, according to an OECD review. Of the OECD’s 30 member countries, Belgium ranks third most inefficient ahead of Italy and Hungary, but behind Greece.' http://onlyinbelgium.eu/page/3
