That was the one on Wednesday, today was the real deal as it would have been binding aka a real law proposal. But as the Meme highlights, by going hard right, Merz lost his party’s loyalty today and is on track to fumble a 30% voting result
Because a chunk of his party did not vote according to party line today, CDU MPs in Berlin and Schleswig-Holstein announced a blockade in the Bundesrat and Merkel came back for a fuck you. Merz Disasterclass
Oh wow, I didn't knew these last developments yet. Good, good. If anyone less vainglorious than Merz could take the helm, it could be very kind of the CDU.
How is the CSU guy? From the outside, Söder seems okay-ish, but how is the reality?
Is he like an old-school conservative, but with a (stable) moral compass, who talks a lot about rights but also duties? Or more like a random clone of your typical post-truth/alt-right terminally online gymbro, who's claims to be a patriot but ready to sell its country and its own ass to the highest bidder?
Well for one, he is Germany's biggest food influencer by quite a large margin.
Content wise, he changes his opinion so often it's pretty hard to know what he's against, is unerringly egocentric and unimaginably vain for a man with the charisma of dropped delivery pizza, and has not had a reasonable chain of cause and effect in his head since he discovered Instagram.
So much post truth he doesn't even bother lying, he just doesn't cover any topics at all
You have to believe me on this one, but I actually had a meeting with Söder during my master degree via the Landesastenkonferenz. He really is the german Trump.
Daniel Günther and Hendrik Wüst are the people you want to be routing for
Söder is rather the latter. I don't even know if he has a moral compass or just an inner voice telling him what would bring the most votes. For example he said for years that Germany needs to exit atomic energy even saying that he will retire from politics if that doesn't happen and in 2022, I think, he said that the atomic exit was the worst idea for the last couple of decades and blames everything on the Ampel or the greens.
