kinda yeah -- I'd argue that people rarely vote "tactfully" in Germany (vote for purple otherwise yellow will win), so if one party is rampant with corruption and the media reports it, then people can happily vote for another party.
Or the party itself can split off into something else, as what with happened with the BSW being an interesting faction centred around one woman (though I've heard she is quite progressive).
Contrast that all with the UK. The only true left-wing leader we had was Jeremy Corbyn and his own party (Labour) cannibalized him. Due to our FPTP voting system, the left still had to vote for Labour or let the Tories win.
I mean, right now people are desperate to prevent the AfD so many of us are indeed considering which of the larger parties to vote for, just for that purpose alone. So we do have that sort of phenomenon but to a lesser extent.
Calling it "chaos", like it's a bad thing that change in the landscape is easier than elsewhere, is still curious lol.
She considers herself leftist but that's all it is.
I meant it in a good sense. In the Chaos Computer Club sense.
I've heard she's got some good anti-corruption policies, but that's all I know. I do find it weird that there's a whole party centred around one person.
Got it lol
Not every opinion Wagenknecht has voiced in the past has been bad but in general, imho, she and her people just like being against whatever the government does (they do have that in common with the AfD). Also she longs for the good old GDR days so there's that.
Yes.
You mean that?
Do I mean what?
You said you meant it. I wanted to be sure.
Tap for spoiler
(I am very amused)
