The German lobby democracy celebrates triumphs

While the negotiators make statements on the outside to form a governing coalition and announce tough points of view, they internally divest their responsibilities: The SPD acts as a protector of the energy companies; The decommissioning of some nuclear power plants is already a considerable drain on the profits, six percent return on capital can no longer be achieved, an end to lignite mining would permanently reduce the yield to five percent or less. The SPD sees itself as compelled to prevent this. And Mrs. Hendricks pretends to cover up this bad game.

And the responsibility for the arms companies, Rheinmetall and Henschel, clinging to the SPD doggedly. Gabriel is doing business and doing excellent lobbying at home and abroad. In doing so, he takes great care not to favor any warring party and deliver it equally to both Saudis and Israelis, Kurds and Turks alike. For this, the SPD, if it comes to forming a government, will certainly be rewarded with several ministerial posts.

Responsibility for the auto industry has won the CSU. Strict exhaust controls are only against strong resistance of the CSU. The sharp rise in the return on capital from the Chinaboom was suddenly slowed down by the diesel scandal. Now all the stops have to be pulled to stop further decay of the return. The public does not know what expenses have gone to the political representations, there must be considerable sums of money.

The FDP offers the industry the development of digital hardware and an immigration law for Indian digital workers. That's not enough to get influential government jobs. First, the FDP has to position itself even more neo-liberally in order to be sufficiently attractive. After all, most of her votes were received only because the voters were deterred by the Bavarian gorillas and therefore preferred to vote for FDP. And a one-man party in which the boss can not tolerate anyone next to him, who could become a dangerous competitor to him as a minister, is a questionable commitment.

And the CDU, as the lobby of the millions of homeowners and housing corporations, is doing everything it can to further increase rents. She is deaf to the demand for the construction of social housing. And so that the subclass does not revolt, it is forced into fixed-term employment. Workers who want to work for minors are waiting at our borders in sufficient numbers. How then young people should plan their offspring is subordinate, the main thing, the woman provides her workforce and is not exposed to the coercion of the social welfare office (New Talk: Hartz IV and Employment Agency).

How such a labile construction, as the Groko, if it comes about, four years to hold, is hard to imagine. Obviously, the people in the foreground act according to the motto: after us, the deluge. If only their reuse after a collapse of a coalition is guaranteed. Just as Schröder and Fischer did.

There is no reason for political observers to nibble on Berlusconi, Trump and the Brexiters.
