Belgian elections 25th May, 2014

What has happened to Ecolo?

At an educated guess, they've lost their watermelon voters to the new Worker's Party.

That said I have no idea what sort of shenanigans Ecolo have been getting up to locally.

PTB/PvdA is hardly new, if indeed new at this level of support.

What I want to know is how long are Belgium going to keep up this charade of being a country? Are N-VA going to push for succession?

You mean secession, and Belgium functions as a country better and for longer than quite a number of other countries in the world. Of course they happen to have power crises, but nothing they can't manage really. Their "impossibility to keep living together as a country" is hugely overplayed by the media to sell paper, IMO.

By the way: Do there exist any polls, asking the Wallons to choose betweem an independent Wallonia or being part of France?

There has been, yes. I don't remember the results, but they were quite spread out iirc. They should date back from 2010-11 when they had no federal government. Wiki's your friend.
