Globalization Creates Ungovernable Europe, Next up: The Belgian Elections

May 7 (EIRNS)--Lyndon LaRouche has pointed out that the Labor Party defeats in the May 3 elections in England, Scotland and Wales, followed by the results of the French elections May 6, along with other, accompanying developments elsewhere, depict a Europe which is ungovernable all the way from the Atlantic to the Russian border. The ungovernability is due to globalization (of which the global-warming insanity is part), driven by the contemporary British Empire of financiers, operating out of the Cayman Islands and other locations. After all, that is the purpose of globalization: do away with national governments.

Another stage will be the new Federal elections in Belgium on June 10, the same day as elections for the French National Assembly.

Belgium has the most complicated electoral system of almost any country in Europe. The country is divided into three provinces (which differ from the language communities with respect to the German-speaking community). There is the French-speaking Walloon region, the Dutch-speaking Flanders region, and the mixed Flemish-Walloon Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde region.

This makes Belgium an inherently unstable country. All the major parties, except the neo-fascist Vlaams Belang, have separate parties for the Flemish and Walloon provinces, and in the third region both Flemish and Walloon parties operate. In this last region, the electorate can therefore vote for either the Flemish or Walloon parties. The Senate is also up for election by the electoral colleges of all three provinces. There was an effort by Flemish mayors in the Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde province to try to block the elections but this failed.
