Traffic light coalition, the
- coalition of the SPD, FDP and the Greens.
From the point of view of the supporters of these parties as a combination as attractive as a
↗︎ Altbierbowle

But remains hypothetical as long as Christian Lindner continues to set the standard for wrong governance in the FDP.
Jobs that

Unit of measure for visualizing political (failure) success.
Can theoretically justify any policy ("... but creates a lot of jobs!");
should, according to old fathers'
tradition
, be promoted
through
↗︎ tax cuts
and
↗︎ austerity measures
, although there is no inevitable connection.
Nuclear power, which
- campaign
issue,
is supposed to reconcile
conservatism and
↗︎ climate protection
.
After all, the demand for CO2-free nuclear power plants can enrage any righteous Green.
Foreign policy that
- doesn't care.
Postal voting, the
- possibility to cast one's vote without witnessing a mask dispute at the polling station.
Elefantenrunde, die
- Archaic ritual on election night, in which top executives from all major parties meet and explain to the other people present why they were the only ones to win the election.

Grand coalition, the
- 1st government alliance of the first-placed parties in difficult majorities, despite differences in content.
However, only one ally can benefit from the successes of the grand coalition, the other is responsible for the failures.
2. Institutional correspondence with Angela Merkel's policy, in which the largest possible majority in the status quo is dawning.
Extrapolation that
- the first launch of the wait for the counting results, typical quote: "But that is only the extrapolation, which can look very different at the end."
2. Survey-based assessment of the election results on the basis of virtually all discussions on election night be guided.
Since the extrapolation does not reflect the final result, all the losers in the extrapolation will withdraw from the fact that they are only losers in the extrapolation.
Jamaican
coalition

2. People who make themselves available for the weird idea that their own party could make up the largest parliamentary group after the election.
Children's interview, the
question-and-answer situation with minors, in which chancellor candidates regularly fail if they want to use trained strategies against unpleasant questions: they are resented counterattacks, thrashing of phrases is easily exposed by a question like "I don't understand" .
Climate protection, the
- 1. Measures to avert an apocalyptic future fully avoidable natural disasters.
2. Policy area that Armin Laschet has been familiar with for a few months.
3.
(refuted)
conspiracy to destroy

Compromise, the

usually better than no result at all.

Plagiarism hunter, the
political weapon that is used against candidates in a field unrelated to politics.
Does not contribute anything to the discussion of the content.
Lateral thinker, the one
who is entitled to vote, who relapsed into the time before the Enlightenment in the application of criteria of reason.
Party preferences are difficult to predict, as he may, and maybe even hopefully, not vote at all.
Pension increase that

Doubtful promise with which masses of final voters could be mobilized.
In
terms
of financing and the tax burden, this is in direct contrast to
↗︎ tax cuts
, which nobody wants to admit before the election.
Red-Red-Green, the

Spacken, the
strongest substantive argument that Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP) is able to put forward against Karl Lauterbach's (SPD) corona policy.
Austerity, the
- Political Sado-Maso Practice.
The promised effects on the balance sheet practically never materialize because they
are thwarted
by other measures, such as
↗︎ tax cuts
for large
payers
.
Spin That
- Communication Technology To Turn Shit To Gold.
If a top candidate leaves a bad impression, this should be turned into a positive by subsequent offers of interpretation by the election campaign team.
Fooling around during presidential solidarity addresses to flood victims has proven to be non-spinable.
Tax cut, the

If so, then mostly to the advantage of wealthy

South Thuringia, the

Particularly popular with parties who otherwise assume that the rest of the party spectrum can be bought, presumably for therapeutic reasons.
Election party, the

Of interest to the public at most when the top candidates appear for the first time after the election.
And then actually not.

Election
promise, the
