After the Vote Match application for Flanders and Brussels, the public broadcaster VRT and De Standaard launched a federal test today. The tool will enable voters to make up their minds about who to vote for in the federal elections, and only includes issues and proposals that are specifically related to the federal level.

Before the test was launched, it was presented to 1,000 Walloon and 1,000 Flemish voters deemed representative for the whole electorate. The results show that Dutch and French speakers in Belgium "are not living on a different planet", as the VRT's political expert Bart Verhulst put it in the 1 o'clock TV news. "However, this does not mean that they think the same about everything."
