Kartel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On several occasions some or all Flemish parties bundled forces on 'Vlaams Kartel' lists for municipal elections in Brussels (in Dutch Vlaams Kartels), sometimes getting together one or two seats in the municipal council, sometimes getting none. As these parties are minority parties in every Brussels municipality, i.e. the parties of an ethnic or linguistic minority (on the average 15% of the population), this is a case of an electoral coalition of ethnic parties. There were such Kartel lists, whose composition differed from one municipality to another, in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe in 1976 and 1982, in Oudergem in 1976, 1982 and 1988, in Anderlecht in 1988, in Etterbeek in 1976, 1982 and 1988, in Sint-Gillis in 1976, 1982, in Sint-Joost-ten-Node in 1982.
