The current German government relies on a coalition involving some left wing union backed candidates in mining areas and the greens.
In US terms imagine you had to keep voters in Berkley and Pennsylvania happy
- cygx 14y agoWhat exactly are you talking about here? The federal government is supplied by CDU (conservatives) and FDP (neo-liberals), and they do have the majority in parliament (see http://www.bundestag.de/bundestag/plenum/bilder/sitzverteilung_17_gross2.jpg http://www.bundestag.de/bundestag/plenum/bilder/sitzverteilu...). However, the FDP lost a lot of votes in recent state elections (but has somewhat recovered during the last one). Are you talking about the Bundesrat (upper house), where SPD (social democrats), Grüne (greens) and Linke (leftists) are present (you can look at the current allocation of votes at http://www.bundesrat.de/cln_235/nn_8328/DE/struktur/stimmenverteilung/stimmenverteilung-node.html http://www.bundesrat.de/cln_235/nn_8328/DE/struktur/stimmenv...)?
