Today, we have elections for the Ministerpräsident in North Rhine/ Westphalia, Germanies by far biggest state.
Needless to say, this is a pretty crucial one, with NRW being the last Bundesland at all with a Red/Green Gov...
Now, I really don't know who I should vote for. A situation totally new to me; I'm allowed to vote since 1986, but that was never any problem.
Like I never ever would have voted for Kohl or Strauß/ the CSU in Bavaria. Or Kanther in Hassia.
But this time:
SPD (Social Democrats) - completely screwed up education and finances; and a MP I personally cannot stand at all. That shouldn't be the prime argument, but I simply cannot find anything that speaks for him (and hey, I could find arguments for Stoiber ).
CDU (Conservatives) - Their candidate was a complete joke in the Kohl cabinet already. Personally, unlike the SPD one, I have no problems with him - but as politician, he's out. And, CDU will never get my vote, as long as it could help Angela Merkel.
Greens - My usual vote, but here...the NRW Greens are backward fundamentalists. OTOH, they are the only ones with something like an agenda still, and not only "We want the Power"....
FDP (Liberals, as in 'Liberalism') - Ok, the're out (for foreigners: Not because of their program in general, but because of their former head- Riesenminister Möllemaus).
And oodles of ridiculous to extremist parties not really worth listing.
Any reasonable advices?
