sending a big hug to @The_President from a CARD member as I only posted an early like and was able to congratulate a couple of the RoT guys at the museum event last night, Sorry if I should have been more 'noticable' on this thread....you ok hun?
Well Done ROT. If one thing we know about the gnarled old scroat is that he doesn't like this sort of thing in his own backyard. And it proves what with the elections being next October, we ain't going away any time soon, so maybe his best course of action should be get the sale done sharpish.
Would expect nothing less from the stupid old goat.
Is he right about the need to get 35 signatures from Sint Truiden inhabitants in order to stand in the election?
Well not according to Vlanderenkiest.
There are 33 council seats up for grabs and ROT, like any other party, can have up to 33 candidates on their list.
Ok, thanks. So he is implying one would need to field 35 (33?) candidates.
That's how I read it Weegie.
All candidates on the submitted list must be resident in ST. I think he's just got his numbers wrong
To stand in a UK election you need to be nominated by a set number of local electors - it varies between type of election. I would think it’s quite likely to be the case in Belgium too. I assume that’s what he means.
It can be an onerous requirement because returning officers in the UK can be quite pedantic about signatures, names matching the register, etc, but it’s almost never a problem finding the people, even for fringe parties.
Whether you have to run a full list of candidates under the system in Belgium I don’t know.
They were actually all having a fantastic time with Roly, they all sat down to discuss potential new investors and then proceeded to sink a few jægerbombs. Hence the disgusted face.
SINT-TRUIDEN - Fans of the British football club Charlton Athletic want to participate with their own party in the municipal elections in Sint-Truiden. The party will be called 'Roland Out Today' and its main goal is to get Roland Duchâtelet, the unpopular owner of the football club outside. According to the party's website, their raison d'être is "to get a suitable and healthy discussion, and to examine the influence of Duchâtelet in the past in Charlton and in Sint-Truiden." ROT wants to participate in the Truiense municipal elections on 14 October 2018 .
Roland Duchâtelet calls it "another nasty upsetting of a small group of ex-Charlton Athletic supporters. It is a small minority that can not find our policy, ninety percent of the supporters do. Incidentally, I think there is still a lot to be done before ROT 35 will find domiciled Truienaars to form a list and take part in the municipal elections. "
I love the idea that ROT want to take Roland "outside"!
" You, get your coat off, outside NOW".
What is the equivalent of Makros car park in St Truiden?

In the 2012 municipal election, the competing parties ran the following lists:
The following was a response to enquiries with Vlanderenkiest, regarding municipal elections in Limburg:
Dear sir
If you want to participate in a Flanders municipal election, you first have to be a voter. If you are not a Belgian citizen, you have to go to the city hall to be registered as a voter.
If you are a voter, you also can start a new political party. To do so, you have to bring in a list of candidates (by means of an act) to the chairman of the municipal head office, on September 15th, 2018. The chairman will communicate this through the municipal communication channels.
You have to make this list of candidates (the act) with the use of a webtool. With this webtool you have to fill in all data of your list, print the document, and bring it to the chairman of the municipal head office, on September 15th, 2018. The webtool however is still in development. When it's available, it will be announced on our website www.vlaanderenkiest.be
All provisions for making and submitting a list of candidates can be found in the local and provincial voting decree of july 8th, 2011, art. 68 - 82. You can find this decree on this link:
Exactly Cecilia I mean the Valley Party over a quarter of a century ago were a complete waste of space weren't they. And of course Roland is a very reasonable man open to discussion on new player signings
I feel a bit poorly, can see an ashes thread illness coming on. And hope we win, my work deal is announced tomorrow and Roland’s deal is announced on the same day.
It’s work Christmas do tomorrow and I haven’t told the missus who is proper poorly and looked after my lad for the last two days while I’ve been away.
Going to have some relationship issues if I come home at 4am thirsday morning after a sick day tomorrow. Hey ho.
i've been off sick for past 3 days. Its apparently called Cupurnitis, as my 2 favourite sporting trophies have been selectively unraveled by ordinary opposition in the past 4 days. Every year about this time i get a annual virus called Cupitis, but luckily Urnitis only seems to be a quadrenial problem.

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart You're shaking my confidence daily
Maybe ROT could have an alliance with the 'Piratenpartij ' - that sounds like fun, could dress up like Johnny Depp, and start singing old sea shantys and start blasting off with our blunderbusses.

Good idea, and perhaps Open VLD can form a coalition with Nief! - the Nonsense party.

Is there nothing stopping me for registering to vote in the ST municipal elections, even as a non Belgian citizen?
Surely as an EU citizen, there would be nothing stopping me as long as I'm not registered to vote elsewhere for the municipal elections?
In which case, does anyone have the St Truiden Returning Officer's phone number?

I think you’ll find there are qualifying criteria...
Nothing against her, but Cecilia's missed the point by a mile. It's surely not about getting elected but about embarrassing the old goat in his home town, which is clearly a sore point with him, and keeping the campaign visible for an extended period until the election almost a year away. I think it's genius. He could make it all stop by signing on the dotted line.
And good luck with your lobbying for another striker in January, Cecilia - let us know how that one goes.

You have to be registered on the National Register of Residents.
After registration, the relevant municipality issues you with an electronic foreigners card (la carte électronique pour étrangers/Elektronische vreemdelingenkaart).
This card is not a residence permit; it serves as identification and indicates that the holder has been included in the national register. The “E Card” is normally valid for five years.

Open VLD 33 candidates (Duchâtelet won 1280 votes)
N-VA 33 candidates
Vlaams Belang 4 candidates
Sp.a 33 candidates
Groen 15 candidates
CD&V 33 candidates
S.T.V.l 5 candidates
Neif! (Nonsense) 13 candidates
Piratenpartij 1 candidate
Clearly ROT will not have to run a full list.
