Spirit is a Flemish (Belgian) political party formed after the falling aprt of the old moderate nationalistic Volksunie party, and currently forms an alliance (cartel) with the SP.a. The Volksunie separated into two parties, the social liberal Spirit and the centre-right N-VA which forms a cartel with the Christian democratic party CD&V. The formation of a cartel is seen as a way in which Spirit and N-VA can guarantee their influence and position in Flemish and Belgian politics. The forming of the cartel led the liberal wing of the party to join the Vlaamse Liberalen en Democraten.
