Belgian king declines government resignation
Belgian King Albert II has declined to accept the resignation of the government of Prime Minister Yves Leterme. The king met for more than four hours with Leterme and other members of his five-party coalition after the prime minister offered his resignation. The Christian Democrat's government offered to resign after failing to win support for constitutional reforms aimed at granting greater autonomy to Belgium's Dutch- and French-speaking regions. The government has only been in office since March.

It all began a long long time ago in 1972 when the Belgian people rose against the French and Dutch bullies who had used the country as a massive chemical landfill for about 700 years. Into the festering wens of Belgium these insensitive foreigners threw not only their nuclear waste but also their malformed children, their unwanted pets, and whatever Englishmen they could lay hands on.
The Belgians armed themselves with empty matchboxes and, in fierce battle, attacked the French. Advancing over a front of several kilometres based on thee brilliant tactics of Alan Alda, they smashed the entire French army, killing or severely frightening 2.3 million "men" even though the Belgians numbered only 672 men and three armoured goats. The fight against the Dutch was rather different however, because they weren't French pussies. However, General Dutroux told the Dutch commander that the Polderdyke had broken and his country was under water, and the Dutch army turned smartly about and went home. The Netherlands flood about 17 times each year, this is one of the many reasons why they conquered Germany: to gain the moral high ground.
But because foreign soldiers had systematically raped nearly all of the Belgian women for several centuries Belgium had become a mixed-race culture with two components: the Walloons, who are the descendants of the French soldiers; and the Flemish, who are the descendants of the Dutch. The Walloons inherited the French idea of a multi-cultural racist society and French intellectualism, sometimes called "stupidity". The Flemish, on the other hand, are active but uneducated farmers and bad ass fascists inhibited by the fact they speak the ugliest language on Earth; they also produce more mucus than any other people on Earth.
Although marriages between these groups are rare, they truly love each other -- when they are not twisting a knife in the other's back, that is.
Brussels:- This is the city where people decide whether or not you will be wearing red or purple underwear next year. It is the capital of the European Union. Brussels is also famous for its large red tape industry. It is also where the Commission européenne isn't based or as the locals call it, the Belgian Mafia

Is it a sign of strength to humbly say "Man I can't sort this sh*t out" and leave or is that giving up too soon?
Like when the Japanese PM Abe resigned last year after massive political pressure. Personally I was disappointed because he had made Japenese history being the youngest PM but sad to say I dont think he was strong enough, mentally and emotionally for the post seeing that he ended up being hospitalised for exhaustion and stress...
I have a French speaking Belgian friend and the contempt she has for the Dutch speaking ones is unbelievable. I'm rooting for whichever part has the most Belgian chocolate reserves.
Decline their PC reign? Of course not!
