Green and Peace do well in the European Elections
The Ecolo Party picked up a fifth of all the seats in Bruxelles and in Wallonia, which is simply amazing.
Ecolo was the only party that I supported when I lived in Ixelles, a commune of Bruxelles. I never expected Ecolo to form a quarter of the Francophone representation from Belgium to the European Parliment, or obtain the third largest number of seats, after the Socialists and the Liberals (Conservatives).
And goodbye to being a junior partner to the Socialists. For as long as this Parliment sits, ecologists won't be forced to put green paint on Labor's, or Capital's mindless cement.
