Merz’s coalition must persuade younger generations to surrender more of their free time to support Europe’s largest economy
The coalition between Merz’s centre-right Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democrats have, in their treaty which defines the political agenda until the next election, committed to incentives to persuade Germans to increase their working hours, and to delay retirement.
The Greens aren’t much better dog, and everyone calls the SPD that, because it’s their name. Yes they have done the same shitty neoliberal politics. Remember that we had a red-green coalition under Schröder and they were also part of the traffic light coalition.
Traffic light coalition was the last good government in the last 20 years
Best in the last 20 years for sure, I don’t know about good.
I mean don’t get me wrong you won’t catch me voting for either, I’m not a socdem. I just think it’s ridiculous that these guys get to drag the name of social democracy through the mud.
