Really =p
federal
the 3 communities
the 3 regions
the government for the francophones in brussels
the government for the neerlandophones in brussels
and the communal government for francophones and neerlandophones in brussels
there were 2 fusions so nowadays we only have 8 governments who do the jobs of the original and theoretical 10 =)

Gentlemen, please stop confusing the hell out of everybody in sight. :P (Including yourselves. :P)
The commissions in Belgium (Flemish Community Commission, French Community Commission and Common Community Commission) aren't real governments. Even more, the FlCC doesn't have any power to make laws (FrCC and CCC do).

Yeah those =p didn't want to do the effort to look up the real names because they're so small.
But the FlCC does exist so it counts ;)
@dutchman: don't you think it's weird all those people are roaring up AGAINST their government. They should be happy. At least they have one, the cry babies ;-)

Damn, i'd change our dear government with those ten of your's anytime :)
dibbs on the one for nederlandophones, it sounds jazzy
We're Dutch-speaking too ;-) But I presume you're refering to Schepel ;-)

don't confuse the foreigners;) They can make laws in all but the name. It counts as a law, except that it can't overrule any "real" law. Or am I confused myself? :p
@RR: it seems to me that we have less governments than that. I thought, for example, that the government for the regions (based on location and responsible for economy) and communities (based on the language and 'cultural differences' and responsible for culture and social related business) formed a single entity. It doesn't seem right to see them as a totally different government since in practice they respond to the same parliament. They just have different areas of interest (much like each department inside a government has a distinct area of interest). The only difference is that some departments have a different area of juridiction than their colleagues. For example, the Flemish decide what happens to the roads in brussels, but doesn't have full control about the schools there. Actually, I don't know if this example is fully correct, specific details are confusing, even for a fully trained lawyer. Belgium works on a need to know basis :)

I thought the FlCC had given it's "right" to make laws to the Flemish Government.
The Parliament of the French Community consists of all the members of the Parliament of the Walloon Region and 19 of the 72 French members of the Parliament of the Brussels Capital Region.

In reality there are 7 legislative powers, but they do come from the 10 is listed here above. And you can still see their origins.
Their is 1 francophone member in the Flemisch parliament(which is the fusion of the region and the community) but he can only vote in topics which are connected to the region not to the community
etc..
@ romanian man :p: you really don't because we are forgetting the provinces and the municipalities here. They also have legislative powers. With so many levels of power a decision is way to difficult.

Uhm ... I think you are wrong. The members from Brussels can only vote for the community, the members of Flanders (and Union Francophone is a political party in Flanders) can vote for both the community and the region. I don't see how someone from Flanders couldn't vote for the community.
The guy from the UF(the french dude) had something he couldn't do. Excuse me that i forgot xD
As can be seen from this charming tableau of a belgian political pub discussion, the thing people really are asking for (either now on the street with seriously tongue-in-cheek demonstrations or last year in the elections) is a more transparent government where they feel more in control of who does what and where their taxes go.
