There is a hint of change in the air. The Union could lose the next election. Also means: There is a hint of uncertainty in the air. Does it really always have to be the Union? A few not so dogged thoughts about it.
There are a few things that seem immovable in this country. The crime scene comes on Sundays, the tree is set up at Christmas, Bayern Munich become German champions and the CDU provides the chancellor. Exceptions prove the rule.
Change is traditionally not our thing, because it is associated with uncertainty. If one of these things starts to falter, a kind of counter-mechanism sets in. If, for example, FC Bayern is weak and other clubs are in focus for a short time, experts all over the country discuss and comment on what Munich would have to do to get them back on top. Quite similar – and analogies between football and politics are also very popular in this country – it is happening with the Union. It weakens and weakens in the polls, and across the country it is discussed, commented and analyzed what the CDU and CSU now (!), As quickly (!!) have to do to turn things around (also here stern.de). Otherwise, according to the CDU, the end of the world threatens, at least, or worse: a left slide!
This time, too, the Union asks the urgent question: Who is afraid of the red man? But Olaf Scholz? A left bugbear? The SPD candidate and current election favorite could hardly be more bourgeois.
After 16 years of Union: Are you really all right in the country?
Now the excitement would be understandable if everything were in the best order in the country. Let’s see: There are the ramshackle bridges and roads (in the automotive state Germany), the schools in a deplorable condition (in the educational state Germany), we are apparently not prepared for climate change, digitization – here and there still just a promise ( In the high-tech country Germany), the nursing emergency is not even glossed over by the Union itself, there is a lack of doctors in the country, the bureaucracy is excessive (and also slowly because of the fax machines – keyword: digitization), the armed forces are on the verge of operational capability, rents in the cities are becoming unaffordable, around every fifth child grows up in poverty or lives on the poverty line … feel free to continue! In addition: toll debacle, mask scandal, Azerbaijan lobby affair, currently illegal evacuation of the anti-coal protest camp in the Hambach Forest. Loosely based on Armin Laschet during his attack on Olaf Scholz in the second TV triall: “If my government worked like this, then we would have a serious problem.”
Of course, it is true: the federal government is not responsible for all of these grievances. But CDU people also sit on other political levels. Above all: does such a good state of the country read after 16 years in the government? Or at least a situation that makes a government under Union leadership “without alternative”? You will know how to answer the question for yourself. This text is not intended to be an election recommendation.
Don’t worry, Bayern Munich will be champions again
Sure, other parties wouldn’t do everything right either. Definitely not. Maybe some things are better, some things are different, and some things are certainly also worse. From 1998, when the first red-green government was elected, a saying by Reinhard Bütikofer, formerly Federal Chairman of the Greens and now a member of the European Parliament, is remembered. “There is no need to buy hamsters,” he said, given the fact that a green party had entered government for the first time. So much for the mood of disaster back then. And even on September 26th, the world will not end if there is actually a change of government. The scene of the crime continues on Sundays, the tree will be erected next Christmas and – yes, it is to be feared – Bayern Munich will be German champions.
