    Why if noone usually goes along with those ideas?

    If a minister comes up with one crazy idea after another AND NO ONE GIVES A , it means that he is a buffoon but his boss doesn't mind. A buffoon's boss is the circus director, not the Prime Minister.

    Unfortunately, you didn't specify how often is "once in a while". Yet, even if it turns out more seldom than average, it is still not prudent for a boss to have an employee who may suddenly go off his chump (and at a most unsuitable moment too).

    Nice try but that doesn't excuse that you thought it means "one after another"...

    Tell that to the banks, none of whose bosses were punished in any way for the last crisis they caused, or for laundering terrorist money or anything like that. Yet here we are arguing over semantics because a politician uttered a silly tax idea...

    OK. Let me put it this way: one after another at some (often quite longish) intervals.

    Banks are private enterprises and their misdemeanors and felonies are to be punished according to the criminal law.

    The politician in question committed nothing of the kind, he just blurted out some crackpot idea of his, so his punishnemt (if any) should be political, and it is to be executed by his political/party boss.

    Well, here is Merkel's approval rating and that of Horst Seehofer from the Bavarian CSU (they are like the bavarian part of the CDU although technically a different party, don't ask me about specifics)
