curves show slopes and for some parties curvature as well. The Walloon environmentalist<br />

party Ecolo, and the Flemish VLD and CD&V all show a peak in<br />

support near their own ideological position, suggesting that the proximity model<br />

holds for these parties. In contrast, the Walloon socialist party PS and the Flemish<br />

socialists SP.A show clear directional curves. Finally, the extreme right Vlaams<br />

Blok shows a very low evaluation across the spectrum, which steeply increases for<br />

voters at the right end.<br />
