The elections are fast approaching: there are less than 100 days left before Belgians go to the polls for the regional, federal and European elections.

Who would make a good Prime Minister?
What if it was Paul Magnette (PS) our next Prime Minister? For 30% of Walloons and Brussels residents, the socialist candidate would take on this role. He is also the best known.

And finally, François De Smet (DéFI), the least well-known French-speaking president of those surveyed, with 9%.
Who keeps their promises the most?
