Belgium has more than 200 days and no government has so now the European record. The world record is currently at 286 days and is from Iraq (!) Hold. Cynical comments here think that this should pose no problem to obtain the Weltrekort.
power you get this straight, what this means. The elections were before Belgium took over the presidency of Europe last year in July and to date there is still no new government. The old one is still operative in the office, but a new one when the Media follows in sight. This means that no new laws, regulations or other there.
today takes place in Brussels demonstration in which want to show the public that they are fed up. The only problem is, how do you solve the problem. Belgium is a few years ago switched to a federal system with 2.5 countries (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels) and did not seem to work. The language barrier was apparently cemented by more than it already was. Both parts have their own parties, you can select only the relevant part, their own media, etc. In principle, a little Europe within Europe.
As for me as a foreigner is interesting is that it seems to not really be so bad if you have no government. We have no new surveillance laws, huge new social security or similar. What is clear here that not everything is perfect, but really can not complain. Which means basically everything stays as it is. Even the index ( see here) and that my income has been raised, but that would have required a government. It almost seems as if not less government so badly.
