It's still 16% of the legislative body. > but always in a democratic context. I would really like to know which democratic context translates 14% of the vote into "in charge of the country". They _may_ have more influence in the executive than the opposition parties, depending on the details of the coalition, but it is still a long stretch to claim "in charge" of the government much less of the country. A coalition is in charge of the executive branch, of which the greens are not the majority by any metric. > If SPD and FDP tomorrow want to bring nuclear energy back If a majority of the voters (or at least 50%+1 of the seats in the legislative body) want to bring nuclear energy back tomorrow, let me know how the greens are going to stop them.
