    1. I’ve had the impression (though I can’t substantiate it since I don’t follow francophone media closely) that Bouchez has grown the MR by cashing in on the rather untapped potential of right-wing and far-right populism in Wallonia. Thinking for example of his constant *vice signalling*, like his praise for Elon Musk. The appeal of Bouchez seems to be that he’s an openly corrupt self-serving asshole. It’s repugnant, but it does seem to work. And MR has never been a bulwark of principled liberalism either.

      What’s more ridiculous is the VLD politicians who think imitating this strategy will benefit their party or their careers, like Maurits Vande Reyde and Vincent Van Quickenborne. In Flanders those sorts of voters are already being catered to by VB and N-VA…
