> The SPD (originally the worker's party) has destroyed the welfare state, the CDU (center right) lets in millions of refugees, and the Green party (originally anti war) goes to war.
While true, it was a bit more complicated than that, so I will add three facts, that are also true:
- There were 5 million unemployed people in Germany and it was called "the sick man of Europe", the SPD had to do something. Economically Germany has never been better off than today.
- The Green party fought physically against its leaders about going to war [0]. There were war crimes being committed right inside Europe, so ultimately they decided for the lesser of two evils.
- The CDU's full name is Christian Democratic Union. I think you can justify your actions, when you are doing literally what it says in your name.
I think you can also make the argument, that "ignoring your voters mandate" by being fundamentalist does not lead you anywhere. Merkel has been chancellor since forever.
SPD and the Green party implemented some of their policies, because they are able to compromise. The Left party holds true to its voters mandate, thereby securing Merkel, because you simply cannot work with fundamentalists. Their domestic policy essentially is to spend all the money (TM), their foreign policy is to make the leading power of Europe behave like an inflated Switzerland. A bonus on top is their very questionable relationship with their past as the governing party of the GDR.
So as long as they are not ignoring their voters mandate in some areas - you simply cannot govern Germany, if you want to leave NATO - they will get non of their voters will implemented as policies and Merkel will stay in office.
