When the Belgian government was actually formed a couple of months ago after endless battering, they set a date by which a federal reformation should have been decided and agreed on paper. If else, the government would fall and more than one coalition partner would step back and leave the government. This date was set on July 15th 2008. Next week!
As usual talks are stuck, things are left undecided and things are looking bad. A whole lot of time and money is being wasted on bullshit! People like Bart De Wever and Yves Leterme have brought us nothing but misfortune. A little over a year from the last elections and we are still stuck with a status quo. We are definitely heading nowhere, or worst case scenario: our country down the drain.
REAL political situations and crisises have come up; foodprices, indexes, oilprices, growing poverty, loss of consumer confidence, and what not! But what are they still talking about? The endless fights are about who speaks what language in which city. We are waving our flags, discussing borders and hurting our neighbours, our blood, our people over nothing and meanwhile people are waiting for solutions.
Mr Prime Minister, get your head out of your ass NOW! People will not continue to stand for this.

Super Tuesday
Super Tuesday didn't deliver the results everyone was hoping for. No decisions, no favourites, no obvious winners. Not with the Republicans but definitely not with the Democrats.
All the candidates for the American Presidency are suffering from a serious lack of identity. Which is quite suprising considering for the first time ever both a black man and a woman have a chance to get in the Oval Office. But somehow in the weird world of media elections candidates with strong personalities and features turn in to mellow copies of each other.
Candidate for the Republicans will most likely be John McCain. Most likely because he 's ahead in the primaries and because the other Republican candidates are even more crap than he his. A Southern candidate with a war history. Such a biography always scores well with the American people. But sadly for him, that's all he's got to offer. I doubt he will have any chance in November.
On the other side of the political spectrum we have Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, wife of former president Bill Clinton. Barack Obama with his half white-half Kenyan heritage and a rather privileged life in Indonesia and Hawaii does not exactly have the average Afro-American profile. Strangely enough, perhaps for this reason, he cannot always count on the Afro-American vote. This puts a serious mortgage on his candidacy. Hillary Clinton is still in the lead during these primaries. But does she have enough left ahead to make it in the end?
Perhaps it's an interesting thought that if Hillary will win, the last twenty years (and the next four years) there would have been two families in the white house. The Bushes and the Clintons.
Anyway, it's still a long way to November when the actual elections will be held. Perhaps the question to ask is: which candidate can beat which candidate? It's obvious that the race to the White House will be a harsh one if you consider the fact that both parties are so splintered in opinions. Most people without a distinct political profile will have many worries and many opportunities to switch sides and candidates. The last thing the Democrats would want to see happen is a lot of people that will make up their minds in the booth right before they mark their vote.
