The best way I can explain it (as to my understanding...)

The previous power was held with the SPA/PS (socialists) and VLD/MR (Liberal Democrat) coalition. So although the VLD is more 'right' than the CD&V, with the coalition it had with the SPA/PS, it was quite balanced. And 'right' over here, is still more left than both ALP and Libs...

So while the SBS is theoretically correct (re. Prime minister Verhofstad), it failed to mention the 'purple' government...

Hope this has been of some help!
