Must be the only country with an article "Governements of.."

Outdated 2

There were elections on May 25th 2014 for all 6 parliaments (the first time in history). So far only the German speaking community has formed a government. Roland (talk) 01:21, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the correct number of governments is not so easy

Currently the article says there are 6 governments of Belgium. That is not incorrect but depending how you look at it it could also be 7, 8 or 9 or even 10.

The constitution defines different government bodies for ‘community’ and ‘region’ affairs. In the Flemish region those two are merged in to one body, the Flemish government. In the other regions the are not merged. From a constitutional point of view the Flemish government counts as two, from reality as only one.

The body that is responsible for the ‘community’ matters in the Brussels Capital Region is normally not counted as an government but actually is very similar as the community government for Wallonia and the German speaking community. In Brussels the community government is in three parts. The separated Flemish (Flemish Community Commission)and the French community council (French Community Commission) of Brussels. And the joined community council (Common Community Commission)of Brussels who are the member of the French and Flemish community council who have a joined session.

If you count those to all separated then you come to 10 governments in Belgium. If believe the current situation where there 6 governments according the article is fine but I wanted to point out there is room discussion about it. And different numbers of governments of Belgium are out there. Walter (talk) 09:23, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
