Désolé. I can't change anything about it!

Which reminds me, it was an interesting evening yesterday with Raoul Hedebouw in the "Université du Travail". Nice man too. Bit short conversation, but then again, he was busy.

Yep. In Liège. While he wanted to give his 1 May speach. He did it, be it with a couple hours delay. (first to the hospital, to get his care)
The man has a good way of communicating, and he's perfectly bilingual. His parents are from Limburg (B), and he's been in Liège all of his life!

I'm wondering how they'll do in the next election.
With the whole of Europe moving towards the far right we could use some extra seats on the other side of the spectrum.

Well, this was new to me, but these parties have also united within Europe. PVDA (B)/PTB, SP (NL), Syriza etc... have created a fraction in the EU parliament. Before (last EUelections???) they were not united (yet?). So.. we'll see.
First stop here, October 3. Municipal/Provincial elections here.

They've been an alliance for quite a while already. But it seems PVDA isn't part of it? Atleast according to wikipedia.

maybe that's just because they don't have seats in the european parliament yet?

Raoul daid they're part. But no reps. Thus, so far, no say. But that'll change next year.

I wonder, can I vote twice now?
