After an exciting election Sunday, the all-important question is now: who with whom?

It is not yet clear which party constellation will rule in the coming legislative period.

It is already clear, however, that the parties FDP and Greens play a decisive role in this.

Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen -

As FDP leader Christian Lindner announced on Monday, preliminary talks with the Greens are pending. Many of the party representatives from the district are still undecided whether a traffic light coalition (SPD, FDP, Greens) or a Jamaica coalition (CDU / CSU, Greens and FDP) is more popular.

"It depends on the content of the negotiations," says Simon Roloff, district chairman of the FDP.

“I don't have any preferences,” explains the Bichler.

"Although we have more consensus on the election manifesto with the Union." He fully supported the decision to talk to the Greens first.

Even if they are far apart politically, Roloff sees opportunities in a joint government with the Greens.

“The voters have shown that they are interested in economic prosperity and a more ecological policy.” A merger of yellow and green makes perfect sense.

Nevertheless, he sees hurdles: "We are very far apart, especially in tax and financial policy."

Traffic light or Jamaica?

- Many politicians from the district are still undecided

Annette Heinloth, Green 3rd Mayor of Wolfratshausen, says: "It will always be difficult to find a consensus with three parties." She regards acting politically together with the FDP as "difficult, but not unimaginable". In exploratory talks with the FDP, the main aim is to agree on a procedure that includes "speed with climate protection". However, she also sees this as a major challenge. "In other areas, such as digitization, there is more contact between us," said the Green politician. She cannot yet say whether she would prefer a Jamaica coalition or a traffic light coalition. "You would lose opportunities if you negotiate too firmly."


Her party colleague Bernd Rosenberger has more precise ideas.

The 3rd mayor from Bad Heilbrunn is toying with a traffic light coalition.

In his view, what is needed is a “replacement of the Union”.

In addition, he would rather see Olaf Scholz as Federal Chancellor.

"Laschet doesn't work at all," he says.

He could well imagine cooperating with the FDP.

"If the FDP uses the wire it has to the economy for the technology in the name of the climate goals, the combination could work," says Rosenberger.

However, he is disappointed in his own party.

“A dirty résumé of the top candidate is not possible.

You don't need to be surprised if you lose trust and votes. "

Green and yellow?

- "Could work"

Patrick Lechner, FDP city councilor from Wolfratshausen, is open to both discussed government coalitions: “We have overlaps with both the Union and the SPD.” But: “You have to drive both of them to hunt after years of GroKo.” And together with the Greens govern? That could work, ”says Lechner. Still, it won't be easy: “We have very different approaches. The Greens go over bans and restrictions, so you have to find a consensus first. ”


Greens District Councilor Maria Demmel from Sachsenkam also doesn't want to decide which coalition she prefers. She believes that a joint government with the free democrats is “conceivable”. But only "if they help us with the wealth tax and climate protection."
