Coalition Chatter

 Spiegel wrote up a piece for the AM today (Saturday) over the German gov't coalition (SPD, Green FDP).

Basically, it's in woeful shape and not getting positive numbers with the public.  I won't argue with that.

To build the coalition, with the SPD in the lead position after the election.....they had to agree to a number of watered-down points, and to build a coalition that marginally could be a consensus on most topics.

Hurting the SPD and Green party chances in state elections?  Yes, without any doubt.  

Bringing the coalition to a early closure, instead of the fall of 2025?  It's just awful rare for German governments to fail.  

I think in the end.....you will see various people come and go....as the coalition tries to find some way of resolving problems.
