The lines in the graphics suggest a continued growth in votes until 2007 in contrast to a sudden fall in percentages starting in 2004. Clearly the immigrant vote factor.
I take it that Kamer in Flemish means Chamber (in Afrikaans it does).
Growth there continues but with a strain since 2004.

2004 was the year of the trial and the resulting banning of the then vlaamsblok, they received immense sympathy for it, since the process was obvious a political one. they were banned under laws of only recent date and one can say specially made and accepted to hurt the vlaamsbelang and if im right it took over 3 trials to get them convicted, so they played the chart of freedom of speech
they still progress in the chamber with about 1.1% because the previous election for it was in 2003(federal elections) one year before the peak of 2004 (for the flemish parliament), and so they lost about 5% in comparison with 2004
