Belgium knows how to ratchet up the pressure.

"The partners of Belgian politicians are being urged to go on a sex strike until a government is formed.

The country had general elections last June but parties have so far been unable to form a governing coalition.

Socialist senator Marleen Temmerman said after a week of a similar sex ban in Kenya in 2009, a government was formed. ..."

Not sure if it will work!
You know. . .prostitution is legal in Belgium. . .very regulated, but perfectly legal!

So. . .there are always options!

Are you suggesting that Belgian prostitutes are not patriotic?

**VQdeochratis** · 09-02-2011, 09:00 PM

That's a great idea.

We should appoint a pre-formateur who will consult with the king who calls upon his advisors which wil form a committee to seek candidates for the role of informateur who will make his first round around the party leaders and write a rapport which will be discussed in the parliament and then presented to the king who will gather his advisors again to appoint a formateur who will explore the conditions which must be fullfilled to start the negotiations about the conditions of this idea.

In all honesty, I don't see a bunch of horny men making better decisions.

Belgium may be a social democracy, but contrary to what the Right Wing propaganda says. .. .social democracy have a healthy appetite for capitalism. . .you know. . .supply and demand. . .when the demand goes up. . .so does the price???

At least . . .since prostitution is legal. . .they pay their taxes!

Good grief! At least American mistresses and prostitutes are patriotic. But I bet not patriotic enough to pay taxes.

I wonder.... did Eliot Spitzer give out 1099s?

A ridiculous publicity stunt from a ridiculous would-be politician.

Ghent! One of my favorite city!
I wonder if my family there will attend. . . .
