Yeah, if I HAD to pick one of the left wing parties to form a government with, I’d go with the Greens because they’re smaller and more marginalized. (if they’re anything like the Green Party USA, they’re probably also more honest, less corrupt, and more efficient at managing things, but far left wackjobs)
My 2006 proposal for a “grand coalition” of a RINO (Topinka) Green (Whitney) Constitution Party (Randy Stufflebeam) government in Illinois replacing the Chicago Dems is sounding better and better. Topinka could name Comrade Rich Whitney as Lt. Governor and promise the Greens they could legalize weed and give everyone solar powered cars, and appoint a Green to some useless state dept. like Chairman of the Illinois Arts Council. It couldn’t be worse than what we got under Blago and Quinn, and if it did, Stufflebeam would have veto power anyway and could threaten to leave the RINO-Green government at any time, and they’d need his 0.5% to have a majority. ;-)
Getting back to Germany though, and in all seriousness... I wonder what the difference between the Socialist Democrat and “The Left” Party is? I googled them and the Socialists are supposedly only “center-left” yet “Marxist-influenced” and part of the alliance of “International Socialists”. On the other hand, “The Left” party is supposedly “far-left” and “somewhat extremist”. It reminds me of that recent NYC election where the Dem who won was supposedly “more progressive” than the openly lesbian marxist. God help us if the “marxist influenced party” aligned with International Socialists is the “more moderate” party.
You’d think all these commies could get along.
SPD are merely like moonbat democrats.
“The Left” (Die Linke) are commies who want to literally end capitalism (not just neuter it like the SPD and Greens and most US democrats), they were formed a few years ago from combination of 2 former parties, the East German commies (they were the same party with a new name) and the left most wing of SPD that broke off and formed a new party because Gerhardt Schoder wasn’t governing poorly enough for them (imagine if the democrats who think Obama is too conservative went rouge).
