Belgium's "Chip Revolution"

If Belgium can do it – others can do it as well: yes. 250 something days without a government!

Belgians show that life is still possible without having “any” government.

It all started with a political deadlock following June elections last year that failed to produce a clear winner. CSM reported that despite the ongoing political crisis, residents are planning to hold a "chips revolution", honoring a favorite national dish, with various events going on around the country. Student-led demonstrations are seen as a good-humored protest against the intransigence of the politicians.

No bloodshed, no facebook, no deaths, no military – and because its sort of humorous and peaceful – it has NOT been able to get as much attention as the other events around the globe. Needless to say, there is a clear message for the people and also for the governments.

It shows that we need a small government, with a very limited role and a specific mandate. The leaders should be barred for contesting again (ever) – that is how they do it in Korea. When somebody is elected as a President – they do their best because it is the first and the last chance for them to serve the people.

Moral: We don’t need hundreds of politicians making decisions on behalf of the country and nobody knows what is going on. Total Chaos!
