>Perhaps a Leterme scenario is looming for De Wever. The Christian Democratic front-runner received nearly 800,000 preferential votes in 2007 but became entangled in endless government negotiations. His first government lasted only a few months; his second only came when Herman Van Rompuy became president of Europe. Leterme retired from Belgian politics in 2011. He had started flying too close to the sun, and his opponents (including in his own party) ended up shooting him out of the sky.
>Icarus De Wever knows that just about all the other parties, especially CD&V, are patiently waiting for *payback time.*
