It works for Kai Wegner. For weeks, the CDU has been leading in the polls for the Berlin House of Representatives elections. He might even win the election. There’s a problem though.
Berlin is a strange city. There are school buildings into which it rains. An administration that is hardly digitized. An airport that was only completed nine years later than planned. And a rent cap that the constitutional court has conceded. Yes, the list of political failures is long. And yet the relative majority of Berliners votes for the same party over and over again. For 22 years, the SPD has provided the governing mayor of the city.
