With days to go now before the whole CDU-CSU and SPD coalition government document is done, and ready for an internal SPD members-wide vote....it kinda came up in the news today in Germany that the executive committee of the SPD Party....wants a complete audit, and newer members of the party (those having joined in the past month or two) would be denied the right to vote.
True or not? It's simply a rumor. It's not considered fact.
The problem I see here, if you go and have some audit and deny 20-percent of the new members the right to vote in a party-election....they will go to judges and demand a halt. Judges might agree, and suddenly the whole coalition government idea goes into a spin-cycle with no real outcome.
If the court forces the SPD to have all new members vote? Well....it could fail the coalition deal.
This has become a fairly big mess. Potentially, all of this talk could fail over this membership vote and you'd see a minority government deal run for six months and new elections before the end of 2018. For the SPD and CDU, that's a big negative.
