Waldemar Hartmann wrote that neither the Greens nor the SPD would be deterred in Berlin from coming to power with the Left – not even by militant antisemitism or close ties to violent criminal clans. Behind this lies a master plan of the federal parties: The SPD wants to go into new elections with Manuela Schwesig as the top candidate and form a majority at the federal level together with the Left and the Greens. Therefore, the intended coalition in Berlin must not fail, Hartmann explained. At the same time, he accused the CDU of clinging to the firewall at the Deutschlandtag of the Young Union. He wrote that the party should prepare for its political end after the state elections in the spring. #Politik #Bundestagswahl #Koalition (translated)

The author wrote that the anger among the population was impossible to ignore and that the federal government had lost all trust in light of inflation, standstill, chaos, and recurring excuses. He urged the ÖVP and SPÖ to allow new elections and warned that otherwise, they could suffer further losses. https://t.co/CMg3m78blb #Politik #Neuwahlen #Wirtschaft #AT (translated)

The Australian exchange student referred to 17 percent for the Greens in the latest poll. He suspected that the SPD would provoke a coalition break as soon as it was certain that new elections would suffice for an alliance with the Greens and the SED. At the same time, he wrote that the CDU would hold on to the firewall until the end, comparing the voting behavior to a Stockholm syndrome. Therefore, starting in 2027, there could be a Red-Red-Green coalition, which he described as "Merkel on crack." He considered such a scenario not unrealistic. #Grüne #SPD #Neuwahlen (translated)

Dr. Rainer Zitelmann devised a scenario he refers to as the "script of horror": Manuela Schwesig would take over the SPD leadership in December and allow the coalition to collapse after a grace period. New elections could then take place at Easter 2027, with Schwesig potentially performing as successfully as she did in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. According to Zitelmann, the AfD could remain at around 30 percent, while the CDU/CSU under Chancellor Merz would likely drop to about 17 percent instead of the current 19 percent. Together, that would amount to 47 to 49 percent; however, since the CDU would not want to coalition with the AfD, a blockage would arise. The SPD could rise to over 20 percent with Schwesig as "Merkel 2.0," compared to the current 13 percent. She would position herself as an opponent of the AfD and promise social justice without social reforms or cuts. According to this scenario, the wealthy should bear the costs; media, trade unions, and NGOs would massively support Schwesig. After the election, Schwesig could, according to Zitelmann, negotiate with the Greens and the Left, to whom he attributed 15 and 11 percent respectively. A red-green-red coalition would therefore exceed 46 percent. If that were not enough, a split CDU/CSU could join as another junior partner. Zitelmann wrote that the Union is eager to continue governing and would secure positions and subordinate itself for that purpose. https://t.co/Ldys88KFJ4 #Politik #Deutschland #Wahlen (translated)

The article by Hans Rauscher criticizes that interested groups within the ÖVP and the economy are calling for new elections to prevent Andreas Babler from being media minister and to stop his reforms, while the government continues to stumble in light of its alleged weakness. #Neuwahlen #ÖVP #Kickl (translated)

The author wrote that new elections in Thuringia and Brandenburg should be prevented because the AfD would easily achieve an absolute majority there. They also want to prevent new elections at the federal level, as the AfD could become so strong that it would be impossible without them... #Thüringen #Brandenburg #AfD #DE #TH #BR (translated)

The discussion about possible new elections is shaped by the popularity of the ailing Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer and the critical comments from Beate Meinl-Reisinger regarding the government’s work, while the three-party coalition is being tested for its stability until 2027. #SPÖ #Neuwahlen #Politik (translated)

BockwurschtClown wrote that Ulrich Siegmund would implement his announcement and would not run again after a failed first round of voting, as well as initiate new elections. Furthermore, he predicted that the CDU would fall below five percent and lose all mandates. https://t.co/5rhcqaKlq9 #Politik #Neuwahlen #CDU (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that, in his assessment, Schulze's tactical maneuvers would lead the citizens of Saxony-Anhalt to turn more towards the AfD and further away from the CDU. The AfD need not fear new elections, while the CDU should, he explained, referring to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and polls in Brandenburg. Schulze's approach would make the CDU even more unbelievable to voters, Barghoorn wrote. #SachsenAnhalt #CDU #AfD (translated)

Guntram Proß wrote that he hopes for new elections if Siegmund fails in the first election campaign. In his view, citizens should vote the CDU out of the state parliament due to a fraud against the sovereign. He referred to the party as anti-democratic and advocated for its disappearance. #Neuwahlen #Demokratie #CDU (translated)
