Local politicians in the district believe that the Greens and FDP will come together - and decide on the next chancellor.

District - The election results have been determined - negotiations are now underway.

The novelty: This time the ideas of three parties have to fit under one hat - and unlike 2017, a grand coalition is likely to be eliminated this time as an emergency solution.

However, there is optimism among local politicians in the district that this will work, as our survey shows.

But one thing is clear: the junior partners decide on the chancellor and the government.

Green yellow

Greens and liberals in the district seem to have already got used to the idea of ​​a joint government.

Ulrike Küster, Deputy District Administrator and District Administrator of the Greens, assesses the result pragmatically: “Democracy means making compromises and reaching an agreement.” Although she still sees few overlaps with the FDP, she is sure that the Greens and Liberals are on a common level Find.

FDP district chairman Anian Orlob is also in good spirits: “The intersections between the Greens and the FDP are greater than many believe.” Both are popular with young voters, and both want to counter climate change with innovations. The FDP is less committed to bans - “bans do not bring any progress” - but solutions are possible at the negotiating table.

District councilor and ex-district chairwoman Ursula Lex confirms that the FDP wants to take on government responsibility. "Co-governing was and is our goal," says the FDP politician. “Now we have to see what is feasible.” With the Greens, she sees a basis. “We are well together when it comes to digitization and education.” In addition, both parties would have scored points with young voters in particular - “this is our future”. The goal of achieving a good mix of technologies is also linked by yellow-green. There is only one problem that is particularly important to the FDP: “Everything has to be financially viable. We cannot spend more than we take in. "

With which big partner they would rather move into the government - Union or SPD - Küster and Orlob leave just as open as Lex.

Orlob believes that the SPD and the Union must now find each other and also orientate themselves in terms of personnel.

Only then could they hold talks with the Greens and the FDP.

Black-Green-Yellow

A Jamaica coalition of the CDU / CSU, the Greens and the FDP is conceivable for Lex, even if the alliance failed just because of the FDP in 2017. “The prerequisite is that we are more involved this time,” she says. “We are being courted by the Union and the SPD. In the end, you have to weigh up which alliance offers more points of contact. ”Orlob also rules out the FDP's withdrawal. In many places, including in the district, it has become the second strongest force. “That is a clear message that we should take responsibility. We will do that."

It is new territory for the Union and the SPD to forge a three-way alliance. Bayrischzell's mayor and CSU district vice-president Georg Kittenrainer therefore sees the two small partners as kingmakers: "They will sell themselves as dearly as possible and get together with whoever makes the best offer." As a CSU man, Kittenrainer would welcome a government with the Union but not at any cost. “If the main points of your own election manifesto are no longer recognizable, it is better to go into the opposition. It's also about the voter mandate. "

But no matter what the coalition looks like in the end - Kittenrainer expects long negotiations.

He sees the chances for Jamaica at 50:50.

“All three have to move, and that will be difficult for everyone.” CSU district chairman and member of the Bundestag Alexander Radwan sees it similarly: “It will not run smoothly between the Greens and the FDP.

Both will have their predetermined breaking points in negotiations, but so will we in the Union.

We cannot accept everything. "

Red-green-red

Disappointed that it was not enough for red-green-red - the alliance lacks five seats to a majority - Tim Siebeneicher, deputy district chairman of the SPD, says: "The warning against the left is exaggerated." With minimum wages, pensions and taxes the similarities between the SPD and the left are significantly greater than with the FDP.

Nevertheless, he believes in the traffic light: "We can convince the Greens in terms of content, and the FDP prefers to form a coalition with a party that has a clear government mandate." arithmetical “option not to have to discuss.

"I'm glad the political fringes don't rule."

Red Black

The party representatives agree on one thing: Nobody wants a new edition of the grand coalition.

"The progress would be too little even under an SPD leadership," says SPDler Siebeneicher, who had already drummed against the then GroKo four years ago.

Germany could no longer afford another four years of mini-progress.

Tomaschek believes in a traffic light coalition: “I am very satisfied.

The Greens are in the government - that is a huge success. ”Over the next four years, the party could position itself well and then reach for the Chancellery again.

"With Robert Habeck we have a good candidate for the future." CSU Vice Kittenrainer does not want to rule out anything: "The chance for Jamaica is there, but I also think it is possible that a grand coalition will have to be negotiated in the end."
