Sex ban suggested for Belgian coalition negotiators

The partners of Belgian politicians are being urged to go on a sex strike until a government is formed.

The country had general elections last June but parties have so far been unable to form a governing coalition.

Socialist senator Marleen Temmerman said after a week of a similar sex ban in Kenya in 2009, a government was formed.

Previous attempts to pressure Belgian negotiators into agreement have included a "grow a beard" campaign.

It is now 241 days since the elections, and Belgium is fast approaching an unofficial world record.
