Moin! Speaking of politics, we had our state election on Saturday. Last I heard the results are still not clear.

I knew about your elections, but still no results? That's a bit long!

Maybe I should go into the Chambre/Kamer then. I'd do just ONE term (5yrs), retire, and get my parliamentairy pension.

jees, are you THAT old already?

 

[agresionpower]

Quark for MP or better, President!!
I'll vote for You!

yeah me too, can't be any worse than the current ones

what, they need more than 3 days to rig the vote?

And you are actually the only one who could vote for me, that is, if I go "back" to NL again!

But with 2 passports, I can actually choose as from now! (as long as I don't do them at the same TIME!)

In NL we voted this year, so, unless Rutte III drops dead, no more vote in 4 years.
In BE this crooky legislation ends in 2018 (vote in 2019).

Ja. 49 in 19, en dan na 5 jaar bij het einde (want tja... zo gaat dat) ben ik 55.

At the end of Saturday night nearly 70% of votes were counted, but many electorates were still too close to call. Some had to be recounted. What really sucked was we had to number all the boxes in order of preference or our vote didn't count.

you had to order them in order of preference? that seems weird.

Well, it's not the same everywhere, you know.
In Belgium, you get a list, and you can either vote for a party (in which case you agree with the order on that list as it is printed) or you can vote (like in NL) on a person (on a list), and to make it complicated, if I understand correctly, you can vote for multiple people on a SAME list! AND... either vote for a list AND a parson (on that particular list)

Speaking of the Xmas Calender ... there's a little teaser photo of the list (blacked out of course) on Wacken's Instagram.

Damn, I just got back. And outside, someone forgot to close the water tap.

I know, that's what reminded me of it
