Since we have many parties to elect, and five of them usually receive enough votes to enter parliament (>5%), our government is typically formed by two or three parties to secure more than 50% of the votes.
In November, one party was removed from the government by the other two, leaving them with less than 50%. So now they no longer have a majority and must constantly seek parliamentary support for decisions. Essentially, it's a crippled government, and we're waiting for new elections. Apparently, they are scheduled for end of this month.
Does that make sense?
I'm a bit worried because after the left-green shift [1] (which abandoned nuclear power), we're now seeing a strong shift into the opposite direction. Since I look like an immigrant, I might end up as collateral damage, lol
It's probably not as bad but maybe just not yet.
The derogatory term is 'linksgrün-versifft.' We use 'versifft' to describe something that is wet and reeks. ↩
I'm thinking about voting AFD, you?
No, I won’t vote or vote Pirates or Die Partei.
Can you vote in Germany? I thought you’re in the Netherlands but I think you mentioned that you’re actually German, too 🤔
I've got double nationality.
Ok in your case I maybe would also vote AFD just as a (short-sighted) fuck with Germany if I don't live there anyway haha
I think the f is lower case
AfD
Thanks I guess.
I admit it’s annoying to type
okay yes sounds familiar now that you explain thank youuu
Familiar sounds like you learned about the German state before in school or somewhere 👀
Is that true?
what did you mean by "our gov't dissolved in Nov"? this is curious
