The other halves of Belgian politicians are being urged to go on a sex strike until a government is formed.The country had general elections last June but parties have so far been unable to form a governing coalition.Socialist senator Marleen Temmerman said after a week of a similar sex ban in Kenya in 2009, a government was formed.Previous attempts to pressure Belgian negotiators into agreement have included a "grow a beard" campaign.It is now 241 days since the elections, and Belgium is fast approaching an unofficial world record.Apart from Somalia, it is reported that only Iraq has taken longer (249 days) to form a government."I call on the spouses of all negotiators to withold sex until a deal is reached," said Ms Temmerman in an article for a Belgian newspaper."Have no more sex until the new administration is posing on the steps of the Palace."She said if politicians' partners followed her suggestion, the "palaver" of coalition-forming would be resolved quite quickly.Senator Temmerman, who is also a gynaecologist, said she hadn't had a response to her idea from politicians or their partners, but about 80% of the public had been "very positive".Source: orange news
