> political brinkmanship and finger-pointing
The difference is that parties that try to pull that in Germany not only loose elections, but are punished so hard by voters that they can't even get over the necessary 5% requirement in the next election.
Have a look what happened to the FDP after they pushed through lower taxes for hotels.
- DasIch 10y agoIn Germany not passing a new budget wouldn't let to a government shutdown. So it's not an option anyway.
- premium-concern 10y agoEven if it did, it wouldn't matter, because people would vote those politicians that tried this shit and their party out of office.
