I mean, he doesn't like how they do politics which affect him so he left. Is there a better way of dealing with the issue? He can't force a vote. He also doesn't have to stay. So he packed up and left. Sounds like a great way of dealing with people in power. Imagine if we all had that flexibility. 'We'll just pack up and leave. Good luck with your bullshit and governing over nothing.' |

There is a certain point where lobbying and advocacy can be futile, and emigration is a stronger option. For example, in Venezuela's recent history, it went from a prosperous country to an economically devastated one, and the population fell in the 2010s as a result [0].
However, Belgium is in a much better place in terms of political stability. It's far more likely that advocacy can be effective. However, it takes a lot of time, and you can give up a lot of potential earnings by staying and trying to advocate. If one has an attachment to a country, especially as a citizen, one can find a lot of value in trying to introduce reforms instead of emigrating.
