Fair. Then again, the FDP also contains elements like Kemmerich. So center right should be fair, no?
yes, comparable to the CDU/CSU but with a little more liberal focus.

I am hoping for Italy to take Germany's place or France even. I am just not into the German language and culture. Spain is a long shot
What is your problem with german language and culture? And how does that reflect to european politics so that you prefer Italy or France?
I dont hate German. I want to visit I just like the idea of Italy being a regional power because I have always liked Italy. Idk why I guess faux nationalism and I like the French language over German and its also easier for me to learn Italian given my other bases.
That's too nice. Hell is for bad people. I'd like to think traitors go to a special place in hell.

He summed it up very nicely and in a short manner.Yeah I'd prefer you don't shit up this thread with empty one-liners and rather do that e.g. here.

Your observation regarding a lack of reforms is correct, but that's the difficulty of changing when you are winning. Schröder's reforms came at a time when we were in a severe crisis. In general, Merkel was often more administrating than shaping policy through a certain ideological lens or a strategy.

@JDragon
How do you think AFD will do? They wont obviously win or choose who is the Chancellor but do you see them entering a coalition?
It is crazy to read to me a major political party is underwatch by the German Feds. They have 89 seats the largest in the opposition block

I just hope Germany can leave behind its almost psychotic insecurity about what other countries think of itself, because of WW2. 17 years of Mutti have left a EU as one of the most inert and ultimately reactive political bodies in the world. there are so many levels of consensus to be reached before doing anything that it is ultimately a calcified structure. first internal consensus, now euroatlantic consensus. the idea that Germany's internal development somehow has to get the vetting of America of all countries is absurd. America would not give one shit about Europe's opinion of the way it handles business, and no amount of common structure memberships can justify this type of bootlicking. The EU destiny is a unique and sovereign one. I for one am tired of looking across the atlantic for permission.For those asking about German foreign policy. Generally speaking, multi-lateralism and embeddedness in EU and NATO are most important. If there weren't this attempt to circumvent Ukraine with North Stream 2.
I feel the decision for it was part russophilia in Eastern Germany, part having a former Chancellor in the Kremlin as an advisor (Schröder) and part the wish to secure energy deliveries in the light of our exit from nuclear energy. The big issue there always was the belief that we could somehow get away with it. Now that it is close to completion, this is turning out to be false.
