Interestingly, according to the taz, Black-Green is currently the pre-occupation of Özdemir and his circle only and the other leaders (even Gauck fan Trittin, to my surprise) were violently against, as a lesson from the Berlin debacle. That doesn't change the fact that they drifted rather far to the right on the economy and at least superficiality eigns regarding Gauck, however. On the other hand, I won't trust even the Left Party to do the Greens' part on the environment, see the issue of brown coal.
