Let's see how big on words he is once he's out of opposition. Either way his leadership comes at the cost of him being a 90s style neo libertarian with his own private plane. Other than that he is conservative through and through.

So (I) expect no big investments into health care, education, green technology or public transport but more in tax cuts for the wealthy and investments into "new and revolutionary technologies that will solve all our problems for sure bro" and individual transport infrastructure (which tbh would actually be needed since the German infrastructure is in a pretty bad state with a lot of highway bridges being at the end of their life cycle but on the other hand schools and healthcare are in dire need of investments too). And for all the problems we just blame migrants and strengthen right wing populist positions.

Soo yeah, not really happy with him, not really happy with anyone else atm.

ah, wasnt aware he was a conservative. Thats unfortunate. Lately it seems like all the conservatives are paid off by Putin-- this one seems to have not gotten his check.

Germans actually have a great ideological variety to choose from:

Pro West right wing conservatives

Anti West right wing conservative fascists

Pro West right wing progressives

Pro West left wing progressive social democrats

Pro West left wing progressive greens

Neutral but more anti west leaning left wing progressives (I think they are pro EU but anti NATO and anti war)

Anti West left wing conservative putin dickriders

Too bad they are either unsympathetic or have proven to be incompetent.
