Yes. a staggering amount of people vote green despite the fact that they cant run a pissup at a brewery.

This is the truth! Fun fact, in sweden, the green party was briefly infiltrated by an moslem extremist sect.

My prediction is a destruction of the socialists, enormous leaps forward for the greens, the extreme left and right, and I suspect they will end up with a christian democrat minority government.

Yes, this is the important truth that all mainstream politicians of today have completely forgotten. The first mainstream politician to rediscover this fact, will probably be a successful mainstream politician.

I doubt, but would be positively surprised, if they would end up with the swedish model of a center government with support from the nationalist/extreme right.
 

Not a bad mix IMHO

It works alright in sweden at the moment. Stricter immigration, the start of a new nuclear project and slightly lower taxes. Otherwise, nothing big has been done the past 2 years.

I think germany is still too scared of the right to do something like that, although it was worked fairly ok in the swedish government constellation, with a good "give and take" between the center and the nationalist right.
