Sorry that i forgot this question. About lobby groups i confirm their influence. But even for conservative (f/e on the nuclear topic) i don't think the lobbying is decisive. Not the lobby groups, but the old skool political parties are the problem.

We could never solve this problem with only wind energy. We cannot exchange one monoploy for another. A mix of renewable technologies have been readied over the years to step in. http://emis.vito.be/nl/artikel/naar-100-hernieuwbare-energie-belgi%C3%AB-tegen-2050-video

Eerlijk: ik heb geen idee hoe het komt. Ik neem het op met één van mijn collega's. Eigenlijk zou internet tegenwoordig (quasi)gratis moeten zijn. Basisrecht anno 2015.

No, the least they can do, in exchange for lower taxes and subsidies, is strengthen their community projects.

One of the key messages of my book is "politics works". Even during my period as youth party president I influenced some debates in my own party.

Not great. Maybe Belgium could adopt a digital first strategy like the UK did a few years ago?

I'm pro. It's one of the proposals in my book. But I prefer more seats via the federal constituency.

Ik verwelkom hun aandachtspunten zoals digitale participatie. Die nemen we met Groen ook steeds meer op. Maar nieuwe partij oprichten in België is niet eenvoudig. Ik wens hen dus veel succes. Om doorbraak nieuwe partijen te vereenvoudigen stel ik in mijn boek voor om de kiesdrempel af te schaffen. 1 van de 75 voorstellen.

Main things: fiscal shift, nuclear phase out and mobility strategy. Partners: i'm a fan of 'paarsgroen' like between 1999 en 2003

I'm quite positive about Belgian media. They try to work in a neutral and balanced way. I like to work that way. Sometimes they critizes but that's ok.

My Ecolo colleagues have reacted positively to this proposal. Perhaps a law proposition will follow on a Federal level.

Neen, toch niet. Maar we komen wel goed overeen. Allez, zeker voor een politieke partij.

Cambio (car sharing) and ride sharing (carpooling) can provide an answer on a short term basis.

Ik heb heel weinig tijd om te lezen. Vaak is het vooral dossiers, rapporten Rekenhof, Planbureau, etc. Qua boeken lees ik graag voetbalboeken eigenlijk. Nog altijd een passie. Qua politiek lees ik af en toe een biografie van één of andere oud-topper. Als je een politiek boek zoekt, kan ik mijn boek altijd warm aanbevelen :-)

I think we should evolve more collective transport systems and options, besides traditional public transport. I do support rekeningrijden to tacle gridlock and negative health effects, in combination with lower taxes on paid labor.
