POV?

[edit]

"Because of the huge public bureaucracy, the high politisation of nominations, and the widely accepted practive that political nominees spend many man-months paid for by all tax-payers for partisan electioneering, this arrangement massively favors the ruling political parties."

Isn't this sentence POV? I think that whether or not this arrangement "massively favours the ruling parties" is a highly subjective issue. --Ganchelkas 15:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC) they are bunch of lies —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.231.167 (talk) 22:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Voting system

[edit]

The article would benefit from information about the threshold, if there is one, for a party to obtain seats and about the formula (e.g., d'Hondt method) used in Belgium for allotting seats to parties. It may be that this is hard to find for regional and local elections, but surely someone who speaks one of Belgium's official languages can find this information. -Rrius (talk) 21:15, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The ballot shown in the photo is Dutch NOT Belgian, indicated not only by the size and number of candidates per party listed but more importantly by the fact that Amsterdam is listed in the upper left corner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreggW (talkcontribs) 06:43, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regional Elections - correctins needed

[edit]

It say that all 75 members of the Walloon parliament are members of the parliament of the French community. This is not correct. In the Walloon parliament there are also members from the German-speaking community - usually very few, one or two. These are not members of the parliament of the French community; they are replaced by deputy members. -- Wassermaus (talk) 16:50, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
