Spirit (Belgium)
Spirit is a Belgian Flemish political party formed after the falling apart of the old moderate nationalistic Volksunie party, and currently forms an alliance (cartel) with the Social-Democrat SP.a. The Volksunie separated into two parties, the social liberal Spirit and the centre-right N-VA which forms a cartel with the Christian democratic party CD&V. The formation of a cartel is seen as a way in which Spirit and N-VA can guarantee their influence and position in Flemish and Belgian politics. The forming of the cartel led the liberal wing of the party to join the Vlaamse Liberalen en Democraten.
