belgium was without a government with a government for 18 months and it was their best economic performance for decades. far better off without government acting too much. i was surprised that merkel put so much political capital and effort into the attempt to build a coalition that i thought was not going to work. the so—called jamaica coalition, black, yellow and green, because it seemed it would not work out between the old liberals, who are far more free—market than most people, and the greens, who like most green movements, are like watermelons — green on the outside, red in the centre, very anti—free—market. they were never really going to be on the same page. i think she has got to go back to the polls. like may having a coalition with the dup! the problem we see in germany is something we will see in other countries, we will see it in italy with the next elections — the fragmentation of the voters. this is irreversible. not in the uk, more than 85% voted for two parties. you are making the point that in lots of countries it has proved to be the case. in britain, regardle
