The dream of a Green chancellorship of Annalena Baerbock having been ruined by the constant drop in her ratings in past weeks, and the Green Party ratings falling behind those of the Social Democrats, the Greens are adapting to the option of a coalition government led by the SPD and their chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz. The option of a coalition with the Christian Democrats is dropped, and the Greens’ campaign is becoming more aggressive against CDU-CSU chancellor candidate Armin Laschet. Baerbock now accuses him of being against the Paris Climate Agreement. The charges have less to do with reality, because Laschet is also paying tribute to the whole climate nonsense, than with making clear that a coalition with a Laschet-led CDU-CSU is impossible for the Greens. A side-aspect is that it keeps the door a bit open for coalition options with the Christian Democrats if they should decide to replace Laschet with CSU Chairman Markus Söder, who is more publicly open for a deal with the Greens.
Olaf Scholz, on his part, is now talking a lot about favoring a post-election coalition with the Greens and the Linke, or with the Greens and Free Democrats. Since the SPD program is quite green anyway, a Scholz chancellorship would be a green, and for the Great Reset too, which Scholz has been backing in his present function as Finance Minister of the outgoing Merkel government.
