Mainstream Flemish politicians say there is room for more regional autonomy in one country but hardline nationalist parties in Flanders advocate the breakup of Belgium.

Key among them is the Flemish Interest party, which received 20 percent of the Flemish vote in 2007. Its parliamentary floor leader, Gerolf Annemans, urged Flemish parties to work for an independent Flanders by "not just pulling the little plug on the (Leterme) government, but the big one," meaning on Belgium.
