A Recipe for Divorce

The Dutch speakers and the French speakers in Belgium cannot form a government, they've been at it for 289 days. There are more of the Dutch, and they are, as you might expect, richer too. Go here to see a CBS News article about the governmental stalemate.

I see this as a situation ripe for a split-up. Logically they should divide the country into two sections. Then each section can either (a) become an independent nation or (b) join the adjacent nation where their language is spoken, namely the Netherlands or France.

On the other hand, when did anybody do politics logically?
