Sparbuchfeinde wrote that the Union sees the breaking of the coalition, a minority government, and extensive reforms with the votes of the AfD as a last resort. According to his account, the SPD is preparing for the end of the coalition and a tough election campaign from the left. He mentioned Manuela Schwesig and Boris Pistorius as possible new top candidates; the SPD, Greens, and Left would oppose the AfD. The Union still holds 28 percent of the seats, but is currently at 17.5 percent in polls, wrote Sparbuchfeinde. In new elections, it would be worn down between the political camps and could, similar to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, experience a complete collapse, he suggested. #Politik #Neuwahlen #Koalition (translated)

The user sparbuchfeinde wrote that the disputes over Bärbel Bas's resignation showed that the coalition was at an end and that the Union and SPD no longer trusted each other. He accused the parties of even politically instrumentalizing deceased stepchildren in the process. The SPD saw its natural coalition partners in the Greens and the Left, while in his view the Union had merely been a useful, naïve partner that had helped socialists to ministerial positions. He wrote that as soon as the Union could be replaced, it would be succeeded by leftist parties. #Politik #Koalition #Rücktritt (translated)
