I´m surprised, already three threads over the German election.
Although it might be a good sign to have a woman as chancellor and a homosexual as vice-chancellor, I´d prefer Schröder. He´s the lesser evil. A lot of things I don´t like about his government but Merkel has only pseudo-solutions, plus she will need at least a legislative period to get a grip on the situation. Actually governing is always different than making plans in opposition. If Schröder is confirmed, he has a free hand to do whatever reforms he needs to do.
i am totally disconnected, but how would a majority of CDU supporters support guido westerwelle as VC? Some say that they hardly have a chance of forming a govt with the liberals. an alternative would be a grand coalition, but this would be deadlock. any other viable alternatives?
