To Lower Saxony election was made before and afterwards a pretty hype. Three weeks, federal politics stood still, all of m looked ahead to beginning of exploratory talks for a black-yellow-green coalition in Berlin on outcome of preferred choice between resin, Heath and North Sea.

What lower Saxons should not vote for: opposition course of SPD, Jamaica, union’s upper limits-compromise, battered chancellor. And what happened? An efficient, popular, but not invulnerable Prime minister won against a challenger whose campaign never came into swing and which also cause of federal CDU built hoped-for return to government in Hanover.
It is also quite clear that voters in Lower Saxony have voted in first place on national policy. They were allowed to vote for federal politics three weeks earlier.
Eigentlichalso no reason to exaggerate interpretations of fourth and last Landtag elections this year and first one, in which SPD was able to succeed in Bundestag election after its renewed debacle. Neverless, nunallerlei interpretations are circulating, which is what election in Lower Saxony has to mean. Martin Schulz was saved for now. Merkel’s adversary in Union has now been strengned again.

Both are probably not wrong, but not really true eir. On one hand, as far as Merkel is concerned, because stranded CDU leader Bernd Althusmann half-heartedly tried to dissociate himself from refugee course of Chancellor and that he is not necessarily demMerkel in union. On or hand, critics of DerKanzlerin will certainly have no interest in attacking ir boss Vorden exploratory talks for Jamaica in Berlin.
A restrained alleged hope-bearer
Auchzur SPD is now meant to be all sorts of things. After his furious catching-up and his clear electoral victory, albeit without a clear majority in Landtag, seheneinige old and new Prime Minister Stephan Weil as a new hopeful of Social Democrats on ground. Even from a chancellor’s candidacy 2021 murmured first. Because in past, public statements about course and state of SPD have always been held back and have never taken sides in party where journey is to take place. Only when he changes this now, as announced, will he get more influence in federal party.
At Federal Party Congress at beginning of December, because it wants to stand for one of deputy posts of party chief Martin Schulz, whom he supports and whose re-election he advocates. Both his candidacy and his support for Schulz are signs that he wants to gain a stronger weight in SPD, alongside mayor of Hamburg, Olaf Scholz, who is related to him by his type and his policy.
But nothing says he has ambitions beyond that. Because ten years was a city Chamberlain in Hanover, with 47 years re became mayor, seven years later prime minister. Everything without great attention, without risky volts. Even in its environment, it is unlikely that 58-year-old jurist is still planning a big one. He will have enough in next few weeks to get a government toger, because it has not served red-green for a continuation of his wish coalition.
Success of Pragmatism
But one thing has shown choice: pragmatic political style, not only at country level. The ex-official is a knowledgeable manager and UmsichtigerVerwalter, who is more proficient in central virtues of everyday political routine than many ors. Angela Merkel is not unlike that. In many countries regiereninzwischen silent and successfully similar undogmatischeAnpacker, which do not talk long, but simply make. The electorate obviously likes it.
For a Erneuererindes, SPD does not even think that it is good with Ihmmeinen. The question of a social democratic vision for next years at any rate will not be answered with mere pragmatism.
