What happens
Pressure on the government due to the ongoing corruption scandal finally caused it to collapse. Investigators lead by Leon Degrelle, leader of the fascist Rexist movement, has been investigating the bribery of ministers for several years resulting in numerous payments to be discovered. In a bid to regain legitimacy, the embattled Prime Minister Paul van Zeeland called a snap election to regain credibility and legitimacy, and the results are now in. Parti Ouvrier Belge (Belgian Worker's Party) led by Emile Vandervelde performed best, capitalizing on the unpopularity of his political rival. He could take this victory and form a Minority Government, or work together with Paul van Zeeland's Catholic party to form a more stable majority and form a Government of National Unity. It should also be noted that Leon Degrelle's Rexist party also performed very well, with his anti-corruption stance proving to be very popular.
