Well, a change in government is quite a normal democratic thing. If the Union had come up with something like a program and statements, they would have had to fight to win - then I could even understand the whole thing. Okay, I still think it's crap, but I could understand how it happened. But to lose to that blowhard Rüttgers - sorry, but you really can't sink any lower. The blowhard hasn't presented a single concept that would actually do any good - cut coal subsidies? Great idea, we don't have enough unemployed people in NRW already. Tuition fees? Great idea, then students who can't afford to study anymore will also be pushed into the job market, and students who have to work for the fees will then fight with one-euro jobbers for the positions. Great future - at least the most populous federal state won't be on the brink of the abyss anymore. At least not after Rüttgers gave it the final push...
And just once - just one single time - I would like to experience a politician being honest after the election. Not that disgusting grin and acting as if you've set a record in the hundred-meter dash - it's about our future, you jerks!
Instead, they will now waffle again, everyone delivers explanations why it has to be this way and is right or wrong - but of course only the voter is to blame, never the politicians. Disgusting. Actually, one should refuse to turn on the TV and watch/read/listen to any news weeks before and after the election - just to not see these smug faces (by the way, it doesn't matter which party, they are all blissfully united on this point) and not to hear their selfish and voter-contemptuous attempts at explanation.
By the way, Müntefering has announced early federal elections in the fall - either he wants to finally give us voters the rest of the grinning faces, or the SPD is doing what it does best again: shirking responsibility. You can then blame everything on the voter again, who didn't understand anything - instead of thinking about your own inhuman politics for once...
Shitty day. I have a bad cold, a bad mood, and Rüttgers wins the election. Rüttgers - the dumbest piece of bread in the Union puddle! Oha. Poor NRW.
