few days ago in North Rhine-Westphalia Parliament was elected. black and yellow, the government Rüttgers which was started in 2005 triumphantly to rehabilitate the country and to realize "private before state" in the ventricle of the Social Democrats, has been voted out. Not with a bang, as we would like to make looking Hannelore Kraft, but on silent feet. The CDU has lost whopping 10.2 percent. But the fact that the SPD "back" is can be no question. Instead, the disastrous results of 2005 has even been beaten again. It can be noted striking similarities with the election in the UK two days before the election in NRW: There, too, was voted out the government, but also there is no beaming winner. It is an election in which it still knows how to lose any.
"Wait!" Call because the Greens. "We have yet gained 5.9 percent and nearly doubled our earnings." Indeed, the Green Party can be satisfied with their result. Nevertheless, it has not passed for red-green for the "trendy" black-green coalition a la Hamburg either. For a government with the Left Party, it would be enough of course. But now it's up to Hannah strength to face the same question as 90 years before Lenin: What to do?
It is a gamble for the SPD's leading candidate, the game left to operate with the fire and to enter into a deal with the devil. Since the CDU demands in a possible grand coalition the post of prime minister, it is a trade-off between power and credibility. While the SPD will once again preoccupied with themselves, would the small centrist parties, FDP and Greens, similar to the Liberal Democrats in the UK to take their chance to throw overboard prejudices and accept responsibility for the future of NRW.
Initially it looked as if the FDP would sense its possibilities: Andreas Pinkwart, who before the election (by now almost forgotten again) was critical of Westerwelle's leadership style headlines began to send signals to the SPD and Greens: A traffic light coalition? That would be a small revolution in the FDP. Of the insulation as a small brother of the CDU and pure tax cut party in a coalition with the SPD and Greens? But the FDP is probably not ready. It was quickly backtracked after Westerwelle has issued the rebellious ideas, a rejection. When it comes to coalitions, Guido understands not fun. There could be no tax cuts at the end so there.
This is a short-term view of things. Westerwelle justified his statement by saying that he did not want to become a "lapdog" for links. But the very fact that you are a co-denied, but either the grand coalition, or even hated the coalition with the Party whose name is not allowed to post only brought about. Is this really for the FDP party interest and the so called "credibility" over the interests of NRW? Risk identified - risk aware not banned? This reminds rather of conflict in the kindergarten sandbox.
is After the cancellation of the FDP at the traffic lights, at the Greens to run at last non-ideological politics. It is the decision be between social market economy on the one hand, and a party that preaches the GDR 2.0, as seen in the private and state-owned independent group of citizens as part of a "system of exploitation". It is understandable that under a Jamaica coalition, the Greens Rüttgers the Prime Minister would not accept. Armin Laschet, however, the former CDU-integration minister, who was sent by Rüttgers even on election night to the field could easily free and democratic positions green connect with Christian Democratic positions. It would be a positive sign if the Greens with the support of a prime minister's efforts Laschet the black-yellow coalition, the pluralistic society of North Rhine-Westphalia to meet reward would.
shows how the Liberal Democrats in Britain, linking the liberals from the FDP and the Greens but more separated than they would: Economic and Ecological Sustainability coupled with a commitment to the freedom of the individual. This is the policy of the hour. Now the time has come for the FDP and the Greens political party of stencil plates and screws and the fate of NRW make together.
