Re: The economist was pushing (4.00 / 2)

Well, the "Financial Times Deutschland" would have liked a CDU-Green coalition. :)

They were very skeptical of the FDP. Promising tax cuts and a balanced budget given the budget reality sounded stupid to them. Not to mention that the FDP was the only party not reflecting on the financial crisis.

That will probably mean that the "FTD" isn´t a "serious" (economics) newspaper any longer, right?
At least for the Economist or the WSJ?

The FTD is definitely different from it's mother the FT, too. Economic liberal, but more modern and broad-sighted.

Re: The economist was pushing (none / 1)

Right.
I do remember some editorials and opinion pieces there which quite openly ridiculed its "mother", the FT.
