The Flemish political landscape is characterized by a multi-party system, primarily dominated by the Flemish nationalist parties, such as the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) and the Flemish Interest (VB). These parties advocate for greater autonomy for Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern region of Belgium, and often emphasize issues related to regional identity and culture. In addition to nationalist parties, there are also several centrist and left-leaning parties, including the Flemish Liberals and Democrats (Open VLD) and the Flemish Socialist Party (Vooruit). The political scene is marked by coalition governments, reflecting the diverse opinions and interests of the Flemish electorate.
