Okay, so the pictures I chose might be "fair and balanced" in the Faux Noise- way, but that's my diary. And the whole thing is a little messed up, but I always like to digress. Sue me. BTW, the latest poll for Saxony is the first ever (in the history of the republic) that showed SPD and CDU combined to be under 50% somewhere.

And what about the SPD and its economic policies.. are they sound??
I msut say I love Germany.. and I think that east Germany is a great palce to live.. if you ahve a job... so.. is this the main goal of any german economic policy...
Everyday life is nto expensive.. flat are cheap.. houses are cheap... and compared to average salaries icnredibly cheap..... so everybody says that the key point is having a job. this is what I got form my twoo-week visit to spanish friends in east Germany (berlin, Jena, erfurt)...
what do you think??
great diary.....
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
On Müntefering: he's perceived to have some "left cred" in the public (because of the "locust debate"), but not so much inside the party (he's for higher retirement age etc.).
Tiefensee: almost no one knows him. He'd have to come out into the sunshine pretty soon. On the plus side, elections are essentially won in east Germany, because there are the most swing voters.
That's also a plus for Platzeck. But he disappointed many of his fans when he had to give up again just after becoming party leader.
"Red Heidi": now this is a joke, right? I mean, just picture her meeting Bush and try not to laugh. "If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles." Sun Tzu
If that isn't enough to kill his career ambitions once and for all, there is justice in this...

Unfortunately. (It's been planned ever since Deutsche Bahn became DB AG, back in the Kohl era [Dürr era for DB].) *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
Steinmeier still has to face some questions on the case of Murat Kurnaz.
Merkel, by the way, has an approval rating at mid-time of 76% (de). If nothing major (very, very major) changes, this means that the SPD can't fight the next elections on personality, as they did with the last.
There are, I think, plenty of issues on which the SPD can define itself separately from the CDU, transparantly fight a battle and come to a decent compromise. The minimum wage issue was one where I think they did it quite successfully. They should seek out further issues, like, say, free university tuition.
I wasn't there, btw, I watched it on Phoenix. I'm not in Berlin and no SPD member. "If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles." Sun Tzu
I don't think you had to be a SPD member to get in, though maybe you'd have to register in advance. I'm not SPD either (don't even know if I could be as a foreigner, and anyway, I'm more sympathetic towards the greens).
