To start with: Walloons don't want further federalisation.
That's what I meant. They don't want further federalisation, the Flemish parties do. At the same time there is the struggle about the B-H-V region. The Walloons probably (and justifiably) feel that if they give up one bit, the Flemish will just come back in 4 to 8 years asking for more. But the Walloons can't expect not to give away anything this round, considering the outcome of the elections, and B-H-V is the lesser of the two chips.

Well, one of the idea's going around is: next regional elections are due to be held in 2009.
Why not hold simultanously federal elections? That way a lot of problems could be solved. With that in mind it might be possible to reach a compromise to form a government to 'prepare' further federalisation and govern on social-economical basis(the agreements on this are made already).
