besides, though I don't agree with most of their ideas, how undemocratic would they be when they were elected?
Well I do agree with some of their views but as an example: recently DeWinter said government should stop funding artists (painters, writers, actors...) because they say its no longer art. Now I do agree that art these days can hardly be called art and the fact that the government gives millions to people who tape bugshells to a ceiling can be upsetting, but a political party can't go around saying what is and what isn't art, you can hardly create a Ministry of Art which decides what is and what isn't art since art is subjective. Anyway, while the Vlaams Belang has some good points about that subject what they're trying to do is undemocratic.
