-    It’s just a symbol.
-    Symbols are important.
-    Why?
-    It is the only thing people understand.
-    Aren’t you underestimating the voter?
-    Believe me, my only mistake is not to underestimate them enough.

There is a land, let’s call it Belgium.
There are problems, let’s call it a crisis.
Imagine that the king calls a new election now, and in the chaos a new party is founded, that has an answer for Flanders, and a candidate no one has ever seen before.
A candidate with a lot of guts and a real programme.
The story of the most exciting electoral campaign ever on Belgian soil.
A political faction in its purest form.
An idea of what things would be like if we were to stop being so naïve.
