"Eight awkward years" - so titled Reinhard Höppner 2003 his "inner views of the Magdeburg Model", Amazon's is the book used from 4.98 euros . This is a worthwhile investment for the country politically interested, especially for those who should be surprised in April 2011, it came after 03/20/2011 to a red-red government. The CDU is working by the current MDR survey stable at 32%, the SPD (23%) wins a point at the expense of the Left Party (26%, -2), which by the ongoing debate communism from the "30-ups" has been dropped. Green (7%, -1) and FDP (5%, +1) would complete the five-party parliament, the NPD is four percent. The advent of neo-Nazis in the diet is unfortunately not excluded. yet another two plus points for the SPD, as a result of the foreseeable Hamburg SPD election victory, and so at the expense of the Left Party, it is 25 +24 = 49% for the medium-sized red-red coalition. And for a long time for another try would be prime minister in Germany, would be taken only from 1 / 4 of the electorate directly: Jens Bullerjahn. Reinhard Hoeppner had taken in 1994 at least 34% of the vote, the SPD was only 0.4% behind the CDU, which claimed so naturally, the Office of the Prime Minister for himself, after a few weeks but in the opposition woke up terrified.
Reinhard Hoeppner's "Inside" is a vindication for eight years with a minority government tolerated by the PDS at the time - for the first time in the history of German politics was such a "construct" for eight years. The justification of the attitude earned the People's Chamber vice-president from the turn-time and later Church Council president is not surprising. In the election campaign Hoeppner had excluded something very clear:
"With such a minority government, I am always rely on the votes of the PDS, which would be politically fatal for me,''
Hoeppner had in 1996 in a small font." Clear sailing against the wind "his basic political understanding:
At book launches Hoeppner has sometimes described this pressure, the was not only on the federal side (Schröder, Scharping) applied to him. The change of government, he described it, particularly by the pressure of his own party had been effected. At first sat by the way the Greens on board, led by Hans-Joachim Tschiche that still supports his party friends like on the letters page of the People's voice. The Greens had because of the PDS tolerating considerable internal party problems. They went but after four years "on board" and have since not represented in Parliament.
Political scientist Sebastian plaster has the "Manual for Land Policy described in detail, with what a great effort to be in the minority government had organized voting process. Policy was there really a process long and complicated between ministries and parliament factions of the PDS and SPD.
Saxony-Anhalt, the country with the most difficult starting conditions in 1989 and with an equally difficult first legislature with three CDU prime minister, gained to be in the 90's reputation as the land of "red lantern" . The economic indicators, especially the unemployment figures were disastrous. Used, the "construct" the beginning of the SPD in 1998 for the first and only time was the largest party in state elections and the direct mandates "clearing away". could: (The Left today), the place faster than expected, the opposition slogans in the election campaigns aside, and government policy to practice before it in Berlin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and most recently in Brandenburg to the "ordinary" red-red coalition has also used it for the PDS came. The country's Constitutional Court in Saxony-Anhalt, attested to the PDS at the time yet to be opposition. At the end of "construct" are BOTH partners agreed that there should be an end - followed by a "correct" red-red coalition should. The voters did not want the 2002nd Böhmer, took a coalition of CDU and FDP came into power. Since that is how it works rather better in the country.
Hoeppner ruled fairly and bad, he called immediately as bold as unsuccessful on to the "hinwegzuspringen old patterns of party politics of the West'':" If you really See Integration of East and West as the task would then CDU and the PDS in Berlin would have to enter into a coalition.''
Jens Bullerjahn it was a lot easier than Reinhard Höppner. He has ruled out nothing. Only a chosen by the SPD prime minister of the left. After the election is Kuschel's not the "hardening" against the CDU, which in 1994 provided also by their contribution to "construct", so to be feared, Bullerjahn would write his campaign promises in the wind, as Hoeppner did not. We know, however, never was "intra-party pressure" so anything can cause - and whether the leading candidate in each election is also the head man of the SPD in the next few years.
The pressure of the media against a red-red construct is not as great as in the 90s, but is noticeable in the coverage are reluctant to Prime Minister of the Left. The opportunity for the SPD, more than the Left Party to be is here. The opportunity for the Left Party to have government offices, as well. You have to cut only worse than the SPD. The Office of the Prime Minister is for Mr Bullerjahn and ministerial posts for the one and the other an enticing prospect, even if the SPD performance in government offices - especially of women's summit or Mr. Hövelmann - was like the "MZ-user" in Government tests have rated them. Both probably not sitting in the next state government. Mr. Haseloff, the Parliament has little experience, one can hardly imagine, as an opposition leader. For he would have a fraction of one that was shown at the last board election is very divided and after 20.3. have hardly any new faces will . We must quiet way, in the interest hope of the country that attract the best minds of the CDU their constituency seats - otherwise they will fly from parliament, expected to be set for the new group made up mainly those which get their direct mandates. With the opposition Greens and FDP would anyway be better positioned than in 1998 in the three-party parliament, which is still incapable of any political figures DVU was populated. FDP and the Greens have already seen that as a small coalition partner is also very much faster in the government than expected.
So there are other coalitions ... we go out at the first opportunity one time.
