That's not the Brussels I was reffering to (the EU part, not the Belgian part), but, the one thing they do care about in Belgium - the language.
Why does Belgium even exist? It was created as an independent country simply to keep the French, Dutch and Germans from fighting over the land. They've gone nearly 200 days without a government and the sole reason why is because the Flemish majority want to end bi-lingual rights in mostly northern Dutch neighborhoods for French Speakers (in clear violation of a pact). But here's the best part - nobody cares that they have no government!
Everybody (except maybe the King) would be happier if the Dutch portion were given to the Netherlands, the small German portion to Germany, the French portion to France and Brussels and the Hague made into international protectorates and head States of Europe.
That being said, when I get around to writing my manifesto, there's no doubt I'm doing it in a drunken binge in the
Grand Place.
