The Belgian waffle


Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo (R) casts a ballot at a polling station in Mons during the federal, regional and European elections in Belgium, on May 25, 2014.

Last time around it took Belgium’s politicians 589 days to agree on a coalition government, so this year’s drawn out battle isn’t that worrying yet.

LOOKS like that time has come around again. Belgians went to the polls (on May 25) and returned pretty much a similar set of results to the elections of June 2010.
