Re: I think we may be seeing the beginning (4.00 / 2)

It is however true that in the same poll 54% said they would regret a collapse of the grand coalition. Whatever that means.

Maybe that the SPD voters are afraid of Black-Yellow and the CDU/CSU voters are afraid of Red-Green?

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.

Well, there's that. But seriously, what the heck kind of question is "Would you regret a collapse of the Grand Coalition?" (Wuerden Sie ein Auseinanderbrechen der Grossen Koalition bedauern?) I think what the responses show above all is that voters are sobbing suckers of sentimentality and stifling stalwarts of stability :-)

It takes a lot of courage to answer "no". That's a triple negative.
