The Return of Verhofstadt
Now the EU is well and truly screwed thanks to Britain offering a better alternative union than the unfinished, undemocratic, epic failure of the EU, there can be only one way forward for it.Yep, you got it.... promote Guy Verhofstadt, into a senior role to shape the future of the EU.
Here comes "Die Peoples Independent Republic Auf Die EU"

I don't see the problem; it's just more of the EU doing what they do.Talk.
Quite a lot - in fact an awful lot.
A "Conference on the future of Europe" is pretty much guaranteed to see lots of talking but zero decisions and zero action in the typical EU manner.
That's probably why he's there, because making the frothing Verhofstadt the chair there for a while keeps him out of mischief elsewhere.

Re: The Return of Verhofstadt
Since we're (sort of) discussing the Netherlands I wonder how long it will take the Dutch to form a government this time after it took 208 days in 2017?
The results aren't as good as some are trying to suggest either, because the populists actually won more of the votes than last time too and in fact the far right has won more seats than ever before.
Not that this means much in a parliament that will have seventeen different parties represented, but it will see some interesting political allegiances develop over time in the Netherlands and makes any coalition vulnerable.
