Months of talks have resulted in a five-party coalition agreement to be led by the right-wing N-VA party's Bart De Wever. He is now set to become the country's first nationalist prime minister.

Summary

Belgium’s right-wing New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) leader Bart De Wever will lead a five-party coalition government, marking the first time a nationalist will hold the position of prime minister.

The coalition, which excludes the far-right Vlaams Belang party, holds an 81-seat majority in Belgium’s 150-seat parliament.

    How wide spread are the other coalition members? Does it span the spectrum or is it mostly right?

      One right-wing party on its way towards Benito’s corporatism, two center-right wet noodles that’ll happily follow the others as long as they fuck the common folk politely, and a center-“left” party. Very diverse as you can tell.
