former communists and protesting extreme-lefts have forged a new party that not only poses serious threads to the established parties and the SPD, but could also cause by it's mere existance a general massive left-shift in policy-making, when parties in order to prevent loosing to many voters to "Die Linke" - will accept the need to act more leftist themselves. Some analysts say that not only one fourth of SPD voters, but one fourth of all voters in general could eventually make their cross in favour of "Die Linke". formed by former SED communists and the audience around extreme influential and aggressive demagogue Lafontaine, this birth of a party monster has the potential to really pick the parties in Germany apart.

that this will be most ruinous for the financial situation of the state, and reduce germany's attractiveness for educated families, middle and higher social classes, and most likely will increase brain drain and tax-refugees, while at the same time the numbers of badly or uneducated foreigners with little chances for qualified jobs and thus high demands on the social systems will go up, must not be explicitly mentioned.

This is a very, very bad day for Germany.

After the lacking substance of the G8 summit and the lack of binding obligations instead only non-binding proclamations of intentions, and after this party founding today: if eventually the EU-treaty with it's many from worse-to-worst passages will get any kind of acceptance in the next day' summit, than I would consider this month to be the politically most ruinous month for Germany I have ever witnessed in my life of 40 years.

And for German-able readers, on the many failings in the EU-treaty (since I already mentioned it anyway):

(It's a former German federal president, former judge at the highest german constitutional court, and chairman of the EU-basic rights convent commenting on this madness. Policymakers and the government in Germany avpoid him like the plague).
