De Croo's father, liberal big beast Hermann, is briefing that the VLD are in trouble.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all of VB+NVA win a majority in Flanders.

Looks like NVA is going to beat VB in Flanders, and that the Socialists might end up 3rd in Wallonia.

It looks like voters that were undecided between NVA and VB broke strongly toward the NVA, and that votes who were undecided between LE, PS broke even more strongly toward LE.

The Royal children voted for the first time I notice (in other words, Wikipedia tells me) that the royal children in Belgium are Princess Elisabeth (age 22), Prince Gabriel (20), Prince Emmanuel (18) and Princess Eléonore (16). It looks like all four of them are in that video. Does that mean that the voting age in Belgium is 16 not 18?

LE rebranding clearly worked. Very impressive. There are rumours that Vooruit splitter and Gaza obsessive Fouad Ahidar is going to claim a seat in Brussels. PTB are going backwards in some places, and Chez Nous are seeing some higher scores than expected (in Verviers for example).

Some other news on the wires. The Francophone Greens are in big trouble in Brussels and it looks like Ecolo will take a massive hit. MR looking up.
VLD in big trouble everywhere.
I'm fascinated to see which circonscription in Wallonia gives the NVA its highest score south of the border.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all of VB+NVA win a majority in Flanders. Probably not quite, but around 48%.

Would a broadly right-of-centre coalition MR-LE-CD&V-NVA get a majority? Belgium is looking dangerously close to a stable government!
EDIT: Forgot VLD which at present would take them over halfway. Would they all be able to talk nicely to each other?

I’m not exactly sure what happened in Flanders (except for undecideds breaking in favour of NVA and perhaps some VLD voters switching to NVA to prevent an VB victory), but Wallonia is almost certainly because of Paul Mangette acting like a toddler.

Right, but PS was nonetheless in front in all opinionPolls (albeit finally decreasing and in 1 on par with MR).

PS supporters were clearly defecting to LE, but it seems the polls undersampled MR voters and oversampled left leaning voters in general.

Nearly half the voters in Flanders want to fundamentally change or even end Belgium. How sustainable is that?
