From the Vlaanderen Kiest website…
| Party | Votes | % | Seats | Change |
| N-VA | 2,199 | 28.4% | 7 | +1 |
| CD&V | 1,903 | 24.6% | 6 | +1 |
| Groen | 1,819 | 23.5% | 5 | +2 |
| Open Vld | 1,007 | 13.0% | 2 | +2 |
| sp.a-plus | 813 | 10.5% | 1 | -1 |
| 7.741 | 100% | 21 |
If sp.a had got three more votes, they would have got the last seat instead of CD&V, so the balance between them would have been 5 to 2 instead of 6 to 1.
So all three parties in the ruling coalition gained seats, in fact to the point that any two of them can now form a coalition excluding the third. I imagine that the deal will be done this evening over a pintje or two.
I susect it also shows (as is fairly obvious from other evidence) that Wyndham wasn’t in with the political Left in the 1930s. True, there were other things going on at the time, but I’d have thought the USSR’s constitutional reform would have been real news for political junkies, especially since that interesting chap Stalin was behind it; the sort of subject that one’s Party friends could bore on about at great length. Either Wyndham wasn’t listenng to them or, more likely, he didn’t have any.
