Well, I have my reasons though. It took Belgium a billion days to form a government. Every time new negotiations failed, the right wingers put pressure on us to cut down drastically because the market reacted badly. We were everyone’s laughing stock. We were the next Greece/Spain/Ireland. We would explode. We would implode. And guess what… We now have a socialist government, which didn’t really give in much to Europe/Germany’s demands to the huge frustration of the right wing parties. All calmed down and our economy is actually growing again now, contrary to just about every prediction and contrary to most of our neighbour countries who do have a right wing government and who did cut down massively (hello England, hello Netherlands). So forgive me for not really giving a shit about how the markets react a mere 20 minutes after Hollande was elected.

Not forming a goverment was the greatest thing about Belgium. Now you have a bunch of guys promising things that will backfire in the future, no matter the bullshit of right or left.

Are there other EU countries not shown that vary significantly from this trend? The cruel austerity spoken of seems much like Obama's or Ryan's 'cuts' - mostly imagined.
