state election in NRW Selects again!
Hannelore had to force the NRW election three Machtoptionen.
Now she has none left. A grand coalition is not an option. What NRW needs is a radical new start.
A perceived victory using nothing if the majorities are not there, let him be government a reality. The top woman in the SPD in North Rhine-Westphalia, which now gets to feel. After the exploratory talks failed on one's left-wing and a large coalition Hannelore Kraft had to bury the night before their third option: A traffic light coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP.
Your own sense of victory that must be said honestly, resulted from the bitter defeat for the CDU with minus ten percentage points and the very good result for the Greens. Almost a separate red-green majority in North Rhine-Westphalia have been possible. It was victory and defeat the other, have the strength encouraged to lay claim to the post of prime minister, although their SPD had landed at the end of a few thousand votes behind the CDU.
Blame is their not. Your behavior is the fundamental feeling of people in NRW, a noticeable change in politics want. The case is different to Prime Minister Jürgen Rüttgers. He would have had to withdraw after this same crashing defeat on election night. Obviously he wants to heed the advice of his colleague Roland Koch of Hesse and the thing just sit out.
Now there must be a new start for a grand coalition, it is primarily from the Union camp. Thinking in classical categories may be true. The exploratory talks with the CDU is not nothing but a failure. And obviously makes the CDU no move to sacrifice for a great coalition, at least Rüttgers election loser. Without a departure from Rüttgers, however, and a noticeable change in the school system policy, the SPD is not a grand coalition can agree. For both the CDU is not ready.
There remains only one way: new elections. This is not a nice solution. Voters should not have to vote as long as they have zusammengewählt a result with which the parties can do something.
But the voters in NRW in this situation can not have both: a stable government and two parties, remain credible. Compromise is to politics. In this case, but they were so big that lazy for it might be an innocuous description.
Elections would also be a chance to restart the political culture in NRW. In the election campaign, the parties have eingedroschen each other, as would any instances already the winner of the absolute majority. In a second campaign to disarm the parties had the opportunity to verbally. Other parties are not enemies to be combated. They are competitors and mountains in the five-party system automatically potential partners.
With all the risks that new elections for the various parties: you could have a cleansing effect on the relationship between the parties. And so the relationship between citizens and their democracy.
