That's interesting. What are the details about that? What major party was banned and why, and on what grounds?

By the way, Belgiums are one of the unhappiest nations on earth, per polls. Maybe it is the tension between the Flemish and the Walloons, I don't know. However, secular Danes are rated the happiest folks on earth.

Vlaams Blok.

They were banned on the grounds that they are "racist", primarily because they want to reverse Belgium's insane immigration policies.

It seems to me this means we can strike Belgium from the list of the world's democracies...

I've spoken with a few Flemings, and to a man, they aren't too happy with the Walloons, and though not all of them support dividing the country in two, most of them did...
