Thanks a lot Thomas, and nice to hear from you again. If we get into
government, I will tell you also the 'negotiations' story. I have to correct
my enthusiasm a bit though: we are not second, but third largest fraction in

liberals will be able to convince the Belgian population that in spite of
their best efforts, a progressive alliance was impossible with the greens,
so they had to turn to the conservatives. ;>)

In spite of our green victory, that is still a very possible outcome of
coalition negotiations here also.
