Back in March, city elections occurred in Hessen. The one curious one....to form up a city government....was Frankfurt.
The big winner? The Greens with 25 percent. They kinda fell into an odd position....they didn't want to form with the CDU (second place, with 22 percent).
So a four-way deal was worked up....Greens, SPD, Volt (a new pro-EU party, and leaning to the left), and the FDP. The deal was on the table and mostly done....each party needed an internal vote to conclude things.
Well...this week, the FDP (7.6 percent) announced that their internal vote failed.
Where this puts things? Basically, the Greens will have to go and chat with the CDU folks or work up a four-way deal with the Linke Party (far-left) as their partner.
What this presents for Frankfurt for the next five years if you end up with a fairly left-left-leaning government? It's anyone's guess. My humble guess is that if you were leaning to move out of the city limits to lesser regulated surroundings....this probably will help you make the decision.
