NL probably thinks they’d just rule over us, so makes sense they’d be in favour

This is stupid. Flemish people feel no connection to Dutch people. Same for Walloons and the French. These are all distinct cultures and they deserve to be.

The only flemish people who openly advocate for unification are outright full on nazis. And this isnt a joke or a hyperbole.

I very much doubt that 35% of people in Wallonia would unite with France.
With that said, the Kosovo numbers don’t seem too far fetched either so I don’t know. I’d need to see the source and the sample data used.

I think even VB’ers want independence rather than annexation.

72% of the Dutch want reunification with Flanders? Just how? Nobody has even seriously suggested that.
That flag is the flag that Dutch national socialists used in the 1930s, by the way. I assume that there are peoples that want unification in those circles, yes.

Belgians may hate eachother, sure, but if they find a common ennemy trust me they’ll fight together like nothing ever happened.

Groot Nederland man dat idee had zijn piek rond WOI en is erna tot een zeer kleine groep herleid. Je had nog even het Pangermanisme waarin Groot-Nederland dan ingepast werd in WOII maar niemand die gezond verstand heeft neemt dat nog serieus .

26% feels like it’s a lot for independence. I’ve never met anyone who want to join the Netherlands. You may find support for giving Antwerp to the Netherlands though. Because we’re spiteful people.

Complete bullshit. Higher numbers in FR and NL is because it isn’t a real consideration.
You ask the French or Dutch if they want to mess with their silly belgian neighbour and they’ll say yes.
You ask the French or the Dutch if they seriously want to deal with the Belgian mess, and they’ll get instant migraines.
Flanders would become an economically less significant Dutch hinterland. The ego of antwerp couldn’t handle being second to randstad interests.
Wallonia would suddenly be richer than their northern-french peers, yet slowly decay because the distance to Paris is larger than the distance to Brussels.
The language problems still wouldn’t be solved, because not even the Dutch can make Brussels speak Dutch again.

Lol, the idea of a Greater Netherlands is faker or more artificial than Belgium, whose roots lie in a political national nucleus that well predates the idea of a unified nation of all Dutch-speakers. If anything, the United Kingdom of the Netherlands was an artificial creation from the Congress of Vienna. Belgium wouldn’t have gained its independence if it was a fake nation and could simply be integrated in the UKN.
The Dutch can go fuck themselves, not sure how the Walloons think about France.

how about no. We would never join the Netherlands willingly. We are friendly with them. But our culture is different. And what about health care and pensions. It would create a lot of issues and solve nothing.

I highly doubt 58% of France knows what Wallonia is

As Walloon I’d prefer to be part of the Netherlands not France.

I expect the question that led to these numbers in Wallonia and Flanders was more like “if Belgium happened to be split, what would your prefered option: independence or unification to France/Netherlands ? “

I would not mind unifying with NL per se, but I’d never want to lose the Ardennes forrest region and our best national beers. Imagine, overnight a good number of the best beers in the world become French… We still have great local beers in Flanders of course but still. It would be cool with me if the whole of Belgium unified with NL though, in fact throw in the “southern flanders” or French Flanders, currently in the North of France, as well. Some older French citizens there can still speak West-Flemish! And French Wallonia. They have “frietkotten” in the North of France, truly they are just our lost brothers 😀
