Prometheus 3 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 With only two years to go, the next German federal election already promises to be exciting: The last four years saw a lot of political upheavel. With Merkel's government facing a heavy majority in the Bundesrat, an unprecedent number of cabinet shuffles and serious infighting in the CDU/CSU' coalition partner FDP, the only uplifting fact for Merkel is that the opposition is not in a better shape. With the SPD struggling to redefine their program and an having an unpopular leader and the Left party suffering several lossel in recent state elections both parties have to try hard to improve their result from last time. Only the Greens are optimistic that they can improve their results from last time and make political gains. The start of a difficult campaign for the Social Democrats. But they are hoping that Steinbrück's popularity will bring them a victory After 8 weeks of campaigning, the SPD is the largest party and can form a majority coalition with the Green party With the popular Joshka Fischer as candidate for chancellor, the Greens manage to get the second best election result Comment with your Email and I'll send it to you. Feedback is appreciated 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gopprogressive 1,063 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 I was wondering if you wouldn't mind some edits to your scenario. For one thing, I think the Saarland should be more left-wing on economics and others than the Rhineland, and Berlin (and Hamburg) should be CL on Immigration (Rheinland should be C). Also, Mecklenberg-Vorpommern should be more conservative then Niedersachsen. Do you agree with these changes? I'll also fix the issues as well. I'd remove Afghanistan as an issue and replace it with NATO or Defense. I'll look at the others as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Rhineland would definitly be C and Berlin rather CL. Hamburg I would leave at C because of the recent rise of several populist right-wing parties in the city. (The Schill-Party for example) Re: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: I think Niedersachsen is quite conservative. There are a lot of catholics there and the quite conservative. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on the other hand has left-leaning governments for some time now and all parties even the CDU are quite progressive. So I'd leave like that. Re: Afghanistan: It depends a lot wether there are still troops in Afghanistan by then. If they are not NATO would probably be no issue, but I'll probably change it into Defense 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they are not NATO would probably be no issue, but I'll probably change it into Defense Ah, really with Niedersachsen? It's usually stronger for the SPD and I think stayed with them in 2005. Plus, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern went for the CDU/CSU in 2005 and 2009. Good to know about Hamburg, although it has a big immigrant population and also voted heavily SPD in 2011 so I'd still put it as CL. I'll post the regional changes when I'm finished. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
