Germany: SPD, Greens and FDP ready to start coalition talks

  1. Minimum wage at 12 € (SPD pet project)

    Bügergeld (Slight hint towards a UBI…waits to bee seen)

    Coal exit 2030 “preferred” (….)

    No negative state budget (…that’s a shitty idea…FDP pet project)

    No speed limit (hooray)

    No Tax hike (…also stupid idea…rich should pay more)

    No new taxes (see above)

    “Super”-deductions for environmental invests (…poor people do not profit)

    400k more housing units/year (try to)

  2. Is this normal?

    Election was 2-3 weeks ago and only proposing formal talks?

    At this speed its going to take months to form a new government. Meanwhile Germanny is stuck with a mandateless pause mode leadership?

    The UK has potentially held an election and sworn in a govement in less time if this takes longer than 6 weeks.

  3. This feels like a good coalition, all sides are like a fact-checking mechanism for each other.

    Greens can be a force toward SPD from the more left-leaning side while SPD tries to keep FDP at bay to make this coalition left-dominant and FDP can hold Greens’ leash from going too far.
