There is a revolt of the CDU party base going on, in today's party meetings on federal state levels two thirds of speakers so far lined up behind the CSU's Markus Söder and not their party chairman Armin Laschet. The resistance at the base is immense. It can hardly come as a surprise for the party bosses - except they had lived in a cave so far. Their plan to silently decide it behind locked doors in a backroom and have the party nod it of, is passé.

The bosses have to accept that the party does not want Laschet as candidate, because different to the bosses the base knows that they will get destroyed in the next elections if they pick Laschet. There are polls showing that not even 3% of germans would vote for a chancellor Öaschet.

Whats going on in the bosses' minds? Probably the same sort of reality-denying drivel that occupies them with regard to the corona crisis "management".


Andf Laschet himself? Is nothing more than only an ego-trip on walking legs. After 16 years, Merkelism has to be buried, fianlly, 16 years too late. Laschet shall not become chnacellor, with him it would be like a fifth term for Merkel, with more air wasted for babbling and thus an inferior CO2 balance.
