Depends on the subject, Wallonie is usually more socialist and leftist compared to Flanders. Flanders has a far right party that is growing again steadily and a Flemish nationalist party that is more on the conservative side.

In Flanders, however, we have the Green party with a transgender minister and a transgender party member happily dancing in lingerie during the Pride last year or the year before. And of course we have to be in awe about how stunning and brave he is for that. So stunning, much brave. If I recall correctly, he also would like to have an uterus transplant as soon as possible.

I get not liking Verhofstadt but we can't really blame Flemish silence on him as he buggered off to Europe and is quiet in Flanders.

So Flanders is more polarised? Weird.

Yeah, as far as I can see, it is. However, Belgium is fucking weird and for an outsider hard to understand. I am not Belgian and I am often in a state of confusion. That being said, there is quite the language border. It could be Wallonie is just as polarised, you just don't really hear it in Flanders. Not to forget Ostbelgien, the German speaking part that some forget even exists. On the other hand, at least this news is fucking mentioned in some Wallon news outlets.

Edit: Jesus, I am talking a lot. Sorry!

Talk all you want. I've always been interested in Belgium because of the chocolate and the architecture. Such a shame that TRAs are trying to ruin it.
