- Belgian separatists win general election but struggle to find exit strategy
Winning Flemish nationalist offers premiership to socialist rival in return for concessionsBelgium's quest to form a stable government appeared further away than ever today after a general election produced a seismic shift towards disintegration.Bart De Wever, the nationalist whose New Flemish Alliance party enjoyed the first ever victory for separatism, was summoned by King Albert II, as was Elio di Rupo, whose francophone Socialist party came second. Both leaders, one on the right in Flanders in the north, the other on the left in Wallonia, the southern half of the country, are of diametrically opposed views: De Wever seeks a managed dissolution of the 180-year-old kingdom, and Di Rupo wants a more centralised state.The outcome of the election, called a year early because the outgoing government fell following an intractable dispute over the rights of French-speakers in Flemish towns, made forming a new government even more difficult.De Wever, 39, emerged as the most powerful figure as leader of a party dedicated to the phased break-up of Belgium and the creation of an independent Flanders, the northern 60% of the country.While entitled to become prime minister by convention, he made plain that his absolute priority is to engineer greater decentralisation, turning Belgium into a loose confederation as a precursor to divorce between Flanders and Wallonia.The biggest obstacle to a smooth parting of the ways is Brussels, the French-speaking capital that is also headquarters of the EU and Nato but which sits in Flanders, almost on the border with Wallonia.De Wever, taking advantage of Flemish voters' exasperation with the broken promises of other parties, insisted he would focus on a new deal, seeking to decentralise key powers, particularly over public finances and socia フランダースの民。勝つ社会、ライバルにconcessionsBelgiumの探求のための戻り値で安定した政府が遠くまで今日より総選挙後disintegration.Bartデウェバーに向けた地震のシフトを生成さ形成するために首相を提供し、その新しいフランドル同盟党史上初楽しんだ民族分離の勝利は、国王アルベール2世によって召喚され、エリオディルポ、そのフランス語圏社会主義党来た2位である
- Long-Term Consumer Outlook For China Luxury
As investments by companies like Louis Vuitton (LVMH), Gucci and Chanel in China’s luxury market increase, McKinsey continues their ongoing series of Chinese consumer surveys. Vinay Dixit, senior director of Asia consumer centers whom I previously interviewed on The China Observer sent me their latest report entitled “Understanding China’s Growing Love for Luxury,” which summarizes the results of an extensive survey of over 1,500 Chinese luxury consumers during spring 2010. I do not necessarily agree with all of the report’s findings, but McKinsey does provide an interesting framework to analyze luxury consumer behavior. ルイヴィトン(LVMH社)、グッチ、シャネル、中国の高級車市場の増加のように企業の投資としては、マッキンゼーは中国の消費者調査の進行中のシリーズを続けている

- Is the EMA really a handout above criticism?
Reforming the Education Maintenance Allowance would not be a straightforward attack on the poorBlind acceptance that all benefits are good is not healthy, especially when the issue is so controversial. Take the Education Maintenance Allowance. There are those who defend it absolutely, just as it is. Yet round my way, one teenage child of a barrister receives it (the mother and father live apart), and one teenage grandchild of a distinguished journalist receives it, while attending a private school paid for by the grandparent.Even without such anomalous use of a well-meaning system, there is surely room for criticism. I don't think Beveridge would be impressed to learn that further education was now something young people had to be paid to do, especially when their parents were still receiving benefits to support and house them. It's a bit sad when school is so little valued, and also something of a poor indictment of what went on during the previous 11 years of education.So, something worth discussing at least, rather than totally dismissing as nothing but a straightforwardly ideological attack on the poor. Some reform? Some devolution to the schools themselves? Surely EMA can't be the one perfect thing in an otherwise imperfect world?Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA)ProtestCuts and closuresStudentsDeborah Orrguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Statement by US congressmen on UUP and Conservatives
US Friends of Ireland and Ad Hoc Committee on Irish Affairs urge Ulster Unionist party to back devolution of policing powersStatement of the Friends of Ireland and the ad hoc committee on Irish affairsMarch 6, 2010WashingtonThe Friends of Ireland in the United States House of Representatives and the ad hoc committee on Irish affairs released the following statement today after the Ulster Unionist party announced it would not be supporting the formal devolution of policing and justice powers when a resolution comes before the Northern Ireland assembly for a vote on Tuesday.Both the Friends of Ireland and the ad hoc committee are bipartisan organizations in the US Congress that have been active supporters of the peace process in Northern Ireland for more than 20 years.As bipartisan members of the United [States] House of Representatives with a longstanding interest in the peace process, we were deeply disappointed to learn last night that the Ulster Unionist party (UUP) does not plan to vote for the formal devolution of policing and justice powers when a resolution comes before the Northern Ireland assembly on Tuesday. The people of Northern Ireland on a cross-community basis want to see these important powers transferred now and have confidence that the local power-sharing government is working effectively on their behalf. A no vote by the UUP is a direct rejection of their hopes for peace and stability.At this crucial and defining moment in the peace process, we urge Sir Reg Empey [the UUP leader] and the UUP to reconsider their position and vote yes on Tuesday. As one of the architects of the Good Friday agreement, we can't understand why Sir Reg would not support a deal that promises a better and more secure future for the people he represents.We also call on Conserva アメリカの友達とアイルランドアドホック委員会はアイルランドの事務上の友アイルランドの、アイルランドのaffairsMarch 6日には、アドホック委員会のpowersStatementポリシングの地方分権に戻るアルスター統一党を促す、2010WashingtonThe友達アイルランドのアメリカ合衆国下院議員とは、広告のアイルランドの外交上の特別委員会は本日、アルスター統一党は、時の解像度Tuesday.Both友達アイルランドとの投票には、北アイルランドのアセンブリの前に来ると正義の力をポリシングの正式な地方分権を支援することはないと発表した後、次の声明を発表アドホック委員会の組織が米議会で超党派の20以上のyears.As米国の超党派のメンバーで、北アイルランドの和平プロセスのことをされてアクティブな支持[米国]下院の和平プロセスへの長年の関心を持って、深く最後の夜は、アルスター統一党(UUPの)計画と正義の力をポリシングの正式な委譲するときの解像度火曜日には、北アイルランドのアセンブリの前に投票していません学ぶことに失望した
