Right wing parties gained ground in Sunday’s national elections in Belgium, largely at the expense of left wing and green parties, prompting the liberal coalitionPrime Minister to fall on his sword and announce he will resign.

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo will resign, he said, reflecting on the poor performance of his governing coalition in the country’s ‘Super Sunday’ election which saw residents vote for their new parliament as well as regional representatives, and for their new members of the European Parliament.

To any FREEPERS who know more than I do, “How does the election results today change any gung ho, let’s go and wipe out Russians in the Ukraine.?’ Is this ‘shift’ telling the military complex MOST Europeans don’t want a war?

It seems twisted to say that this politician suffered a right wing election victory.

His left wing suffered a left wing election loss. He lost. His side lost. He didn’t suffer a victory. He suffered a loss.

But the media cannot bring itself to type “left wing election loss”. So they have to say this guy suffered a right wing election victory.

In Europe, “Right wing” means anything close to the center or left of center. There is no equivalent category to American conservative principals. In Europe, they are ALL socialist at a varying level of degree.

He ain’t the only one. Look around Europe. Vlad must be irritated.

The Belgians as colonializers. Were they the worst?

"Right wing" in this context means *not* open borders.

Small government conservatism isn't even part of their political universe over their.

Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Belgium and more. All over the EU, conservatives, particularly anti-immigration conservatives, made significant gains. This is only the EU Parliament, but a political shift is occurring.

Paper ballots, hand counted, most likely.

The Euros came over to observe out 2008 election because obviously there was going to be massive cheating to keep that nice black man from being elected.

They ran home screaming when they saw our election infrastructure and procedures.
