I am aware of all that. With special thanks to France in this regard, btw. Nevertheless, considering this basic law was formulated by the Ministerpräsidenten of the then existing Länder, these had their fair share in those troubles as well, rightly as you say, continuing to this very day.
Which actually only leaves three options.
1. The least likely option, things will stay as they are, and ppl will adapt. Unlikely to happen in the long run, as history proves.
2. The government will change itself. That is not that unlikely after all. Most "revolutions" in Germany since the 18 hundreds came from the top, starting with the prussian reforms within the napoleonic timeframe. 1848 and 1918 noteably exceptions.
3. The ppl will get their change, one way or another. What comes next is speclative, nowadays I have enough trust in my countrymen to once again chose democracy should the option arise, but one never knows. Right now democracy in Germany certainly shows a poor performance.
