Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

obviously did not deal with the house insulation issues

As I write downthread, the current programme started in 2001... and all four ministers of the responsible ministry during Schröder's time (Müntefering, Klimmt, Bodewig, Stolpe) were SPD ministers, so funny thing you think the Greens should have acted.

Well, if it is an important issue, I think the greens should have acted on that. If you think that is funny, then you certainly will be happy if I put the responisbility of the likely Bahn privatisation mostly on the SPD, because they have currently that ressort?

I repeat the obvious: the Greens didn't have the ministry to act with.  It was nice enough to have Trittin battle Clement over the responsibility for energy policy, with Trittin controlling the feed-in law. Pressure is another thing, and there was pressure and there was effect - I repeat that that programme started in 2001 -, though it is one thing when the pressure comes from the senior coalition partner and another when it is a small one.

Happy I won't be, but they are deep in responsibility.
