It got dragged out as a top five topic today in Germany.....the SPD Party figure (Rheinland Pfalz SPD Party chief), Malu Dreyer, has said that she doesn't see an issue with the SPD Party in the future....to have coalitions or deals with the Linke Party.
For those Americans who aren't familiar with the Linke Party.....they are the remnants of the former Communist Party, and kinda rebuilt over the past decade into leaning-far-to-the-left political party.
About five years ago, this topic got brought up within the SPD, and they quickly discovered that around half of the membership really didn't like the idea or where this was going to go. I just don't think much has changed over the past five years.
Why bring this up now? 2021 is not that far away, and some folks envision that the Greens will take enough votes to win, over the CDU, and that the coalition will end being the Greens-SPD-Linke Party. If this were to come up (anticipating the SPD will get around 14-to-15 percent of the vote....how would the internal voting of the party members envision this? I would take a guess that 30 to 50 percent will say no. If it did pass....it'd be a marginal pass, and this group would likely vacate the SPD over the next year or two. It's anyone's guess which party they would gravitate over to.
Creating a bigger and more long-term problem for the SPD folks? Maybe.
