Unclear if Michel will ‘run’ or ‘stand’ in elections

Press reports have suggested that current Save-The-World Commissioner Louis Michel is to cease activities in his post in charge of development policy at the European Commission in order to “run” for the Belgian national elections.

The idea that this man could “run” for anything other than down the pie-shop is quite preposterous. This is a man who would never “run” for election, it has therefore been suggested he might possibly “stand” as a candidate, but many commentators have suggested that even that is unlikely.

According to a preliminary copy of the ballot sheet, submitted anonymously to Berlaymonster, the Belgian authorities are allowing Michel to “squat” for election.
