King appoints 12th person in latest attempt to form Belgian government
After the leaders to Belgium’s two largest parties gave up (unsurprisingly) on trying to form a coalition, the next person to have a go will be the Flemish Liberal leader, Egbert Lachaert.
The clock is ticking a bit, now, though:
By 17 September, however, the special powers granted by the parliament to the caretaker government of Sophie Wilmès will expire.
It’s always a bad idea to make predictions, but I’m guessing that new elections will soon be on the way. Watch this space.

I reckon that he should ask you and me to give it a go.

Canada’s gov’t is riddled with scandal. America is…😳. England…same. So let’s add Belgium to the list too. Why the heck not. 😀

What’s embarrassing is when Belgians start asking me why the UK government is such a disaster.
