Executive power is exercised by the government . Federal legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives . The federation is made up of (language - based) communities and (territorial) regions . </P> <P> Since around 1970, the significant national Belgian political parties have split into distinct representations for each communities' interests besides defense of their ideologies . These parties belong to three main political families, though close to the centre: the right - wing Liberals, the social conservative Christian Democrats, and Socialists forming the left - wing . Other important newer parties are the Green parties and, nowadays mainly in Flanders, the nationalist and far - right parties . Politics is influenced by lobby groups, such as trade unions and employers' organizations such as the Federation of Belgian Enterprises . Majority rule is often superseded by a de facto confederal decision making process where the minority (the French - speakers) enjoy important protections through specialty majorities (2 / 3 overall and majority in each of the 2 main communities). The Economist Intelligence Unit has rated Belgium as "flawed democracy" in 2016 . </P>
