Belgium swears in new PM



Belgium's King Albert has sworn in a new government, finally ending the

Leterme, the Flemish Christian Democrat, who emerged from last June's elections
the winner.

Check this out.


He will lead a five-party coalition.

Five? That's three too many! I kid. If anything, our system should be more like theirs. If parties are going to dominate, give us more than two.
