I hope that's not what's to come. I think because our parlimentary system allows for multiple parties (i.e. > 2) we have the advantage that a true social democrat party always has the chance to rise and achieve a ruling coalition. It isn't perfect, but I think it's a better system.

But regarding die Linke, I dont think they were ever a viable party to vote for. They've supported actual terrorists and Wagenknecht is Sarah Palin level crazy.

Yeah, I was more referring to them doing the opposition and occasionally speaking up for the citizen in things like child care, taxes and how to treat the people who are not well off. Sometimes surveillance and stuff. I guess I like someone doing that. But you're right, they always had that mixed with some strange ideas.
