Who has slept through the past years, on Thursday neatly on the current state of the political debate. Maybrit Illner had made a lot of With representatives from the CDU, SPD, Greens and the AfD, as well as a whole bunch of experts, it went through the recent development history of the party landscape under the title: “reboot without Merkel – who will win and who will lose?”

The better broadcast title: more Suitable would be maybe “Evergreens of the recent political debate revisited”. “The core of the people’s parties”, “asymmetric demobilisation”, “listen to what” moves “people”, survey, recovery of the Green and AfD, driving bans, refugee policy – from pre formulation, it went to the next and from the sticks on the sticks melt. Of course, with the aim to design out many of the mosaic is a panoramic image. But it was just so sorry.

The football quote of the Night: Illners input hypothesis, the announcement by Angela Merkel, to stand as a candidate for the CDU presidency, have caused a “powerful movement,” confirmed in a certain way, Paul Ziemiak, the Chairman of the young Union. What he would say, was simply the least expected – which says something about the quality of the political work, although nothing, in a talk show but is a factor. Would turn to Ziemiak about the Green? Pretty clear answer: no. If the Green was so important “with the air in the cities”, then you should not be holding, for example, against the city highway in his home, he said. And in the rating of countries as safe countries of Origin Union and Green apart, be far.

in this respect, was correct, what Dirk Metz, once a spokesman of the government of the state of Hesse CDU Prime Minister Roland Koch, said: Merkel’s resignation announcement concern for new debates in the party, for a “spirit of optimism” – you don’t know actually, currently, the CDU is positioned. That Metz quoted the football player Toni Polster with the well-suspended the sentence “I am an Optimist, even my blood group is positive”, the raising of the level but not excessive.

The look of the Night: Franziska Giffey of the SPD, Katrin Göring-Eckardt of the Green party and Alexander Gauland, the AfD run and operated basically look to run in a circle: Giffey is ties for social policy and understandable language, Göring-Eckardt for climate protection and against the Nazis, Gauland against something, what he called the “climate hysteria”, and for the Dog.

especially Göring-Eckardt and Gauland clashed, Hititbet promoted the show and dramaturgy. “We live in that we call reality,” she replied to the question of whether the Greens had a fear party. From voice and waved Gauland multiple contemptuously. Climate change? With regards to the influence of the people, was “very skeptical”. As is mostly the case when two poles meet in a talk show together, ended the Whole with the principle Statements, do not bring the discussion forward.

Franziska Giffey struggled, meanwhile, to create the image of a “vibrant, modern party”, but left the meta-level: politicians in need of facing way, sometimes in a good mood. “In-kind policy is the one,” she said, but it is also the “heart and stomach”. It is very important that “we” – that is, the SPD, “say, what we stand for”. Alone, she said. Social policy – Yes, okay. SPD-consultant Frank Stauss had input noted, the SPD needs to hurry up with their renewal finally, new elections would be conceivable. There is no Toni-padding-optimism came from-a quote from him.

The highlighted Passage of the Evening: stood Out in the discussion about the party donations received by the AfD in the Bundestag election campaign, and the question of whether you should be monitored by the protection of the Constitution. Investigative journalist and former SPIEGEL editor in chief Georg Mascolo said it was noticeable that the party take care of first, then the enlightenment, after they had already been caught. “Where did she get her money? And you keeps the law?” Even more crucial for voters but it is, perhaps, whether the party will be observed by the protection of the Constitution. Whether you are separating from your radical forces, was, for many voters, significantly.

the AfD-politician Gauland meekly, would be wrong. “Yes, mistakes were made,” he said about the party donations affair. “In fact: You ought to have the Bundestag the show.” But from the donations of money, not a penny remained “in the AfD”. He does not also call for the resignation of Alice ryegrass. And as regards the protection of the Constitution question: Maybe we should leave of the “Verbal radicalism”. He said – and defended shortly after Björn Höckes quote from the “monument of shame” by claiming that he had meant it, but quite harmless: “Mr Höcke is absolutely right: It is a memorial of our disgrace.”
