I noticed that this page is referred to from the english language style guide of the european union, in it's annex on Belgium. So it hopefully means that it's pretty good.

I have changed the name of this article since it is no more just a list... but now an elaborated article about the political parties in Belgium. Well done Wilfried! -- Edcolins 16:49, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)
It might be noteworthy to mention that, according to a large recent survey in Flanders by a popular newspaper collaborating with 2 respected University professors, 94.9% of the members of Flemish BLock/Flemish Interest, actually FAVOUR Flemish Independence, as opposed to your article stating that a mojority opposed it. This totals a whopping 51% of Flemish who favour an immediate seccesion from the Kingdom of Belgium. The Flemish Block / Flemish Interest Party is still an active Flemish Nationalist Party, and often named side by side with the -smaller- N-VA when the topic of Flemish Independence hits the tables of Belgian politics once again.

I reverted the edit of 1652186, which called Vlaams Belang "right" instead of "far right". I do not agree or disagree with either label, but edit was pov, because it involved a lenghty explanation on whether the Vlaams Belang is right or far right. That does not belong on the articles main page but on it's talk, where we could discuss the labelling of Vlaams Belang. C mon 20:12, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
"In American terms the Liberals' economic positions would be considered to reflect a moderate conservative ideology." That may very well be, but why should it be pointed out? I'm removing it.
Could you please explain why Wikipedia:Naming conventions (political parties)#Exceptions #4 does not apply to Belgian political parties? You moved Sociaal-Liberale Partij back to Social Liberal Party (Belgium), despite Belgium being a multlingual country where party names are kept in the original name (e.g. Parti Socialiste vs. SP-A.

Someone should add it somewhere in the list. 91.179.180.242 ( talk) 17:21, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
I think that it should be more clear that the different parties (like VLD in Flemish-part and MR in Frenchspeaking-part) are just equivalents. Meaning that they are not "brother party" like it used to be.
I mean that when Belgium was a united country, the was only 1 Labour party, 1 Liberal party, and so on. Since it is a Federal state (not exactly since that, but it's to explain the facts), the parties splitted into two parties (and not two branches of a same party).
So, for example, the VLD is completely independent of the MR, and the PS is completely independent of the SPA.
I think the unique exception is the communist party (Parti du Travail de Belgique). But must be confirmed on this point... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julienadam ( talk • contribs) 09:23, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of political parties in Abkhazia which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 16:19, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
