    The country’s energy-intensive businesses have suffered from the lingering impact of the energy crisis sparked by Russia’s war in Ukraine.

    Yeah, ofcourse, nothing else sparked an energy crisis. Russia put sanctions on itself and then blew up its own gas pipeline.

    We didn't blow up the pipeline
    It was always leaking, since the world's been turning
    We didn't start the fire
    But when we are gone
    It will still burn on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
    
    We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the world's been turning
    We didn't blow up the pipeline
    No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

      He gleefully approved a €100B handout to the Bundeswehr MIC in 2022, which somehow magically didn’t count against the budget or deficit.

      This whole thing has a funny taste, especially in a country which almost always just sucks up a nonsensical and ineffective coalition for the full five year maximum term in the name of stability in government.

    What went wrong? Let’s see:

    The coalition consisted of:

    • SocDems (“red” liberals)

    • Greens (“green” liberals)

    • Liberals (liberals)

    Also in the Parliament as the opposition are:

    • Conservatives (liberals)

    • The “Left” (weird liberals, very slightly progressive)

    • Cult of personality party (very weird liberals)

    • The blue DEUTSCHLAND party (more openly fascistic liberals)

    • Some independents (probably liberals)

    • One confused half Danish person nobody knows how they got there (liberals)

    Any questions?

        Stefan Seidler is from the SSW (South Schleswig Voters’ Association), a small party representing the Danish and Frisian minorities in the northernmost federal state in Germany, Schleswig-Holstein. They are exempted from the 5% vote requirement, but rather unremarkable otherwise, politically mostly aligned with the Nordic model (free markets with welfare).

        It was kinda funny when they actually got enough votes at the federal elections to get into Berlin. There were some memes about it.

    It seems that the owl of minerva takes flight much more later for liberals
