Election time in Germany
May 30, 2005 on 4:53 pm by Thomas | In Campaigns, General, Politics, Publicity / Marketing | 1 CommentIn september we are electing a new government. I am going to be involved with the campaign, trying to prevent the black republic
Chancellor Schröder decided a week ago that after 9 major defeats of its social democratic party (SPD) in regional parliaments (which are important – we are a republic) it would be impossible to go on since his party and his politics “no more have the trust of the people”. I am working for the online consultancy Face2Net. One of their clients is the SPD, so I am going to be involved with the campaign. September 18th is the estimated election day. This is going to be tough, but exciting. And it starts now.

I think: The social democrats are much more likeable than their stiff conservative counterparts. But to communicate that they are better steersmen for our country is going to be a very difficult task. Most important to me is: People need to know that there is a major threat on the horizon: The black republic. To be governed by a conservative party who has a majority in all legislative chambers for several years means a lot of uncontrolled power, they could even change the constitution.
We will do our best to prevent this black and streamlined republic.

Actually, I don’t know a lot about politics. The only thing I know is that politicians act like eight years olds “Merkel said she would do this, but now she does that”, “Schröder said he would do this, but now he does this…”. It seems as if politicians, as they are in power, proceed a regression, and they are in the KINDERGARTEN again.
At least their language refers to that.
Now there seems to be an exception:
Schröder seems to have BALLS, as the Irish would say, and as I lived in Ireland, I can use this informal expression even in formal contexts as this WEBBLOG.
Actually, I wish this country all the best; and I really hope people will come to insight. My real advise to all parties is: Please come together, please try to understand that there will be no full employment anymore, NO MORE, and there is nothing you can do about this.
It is just a matter of Logic, as Innovation and Technology lead to Markets which only need knowledge based work, and thats all.
Please try to understand. And stop arguing. Theres no point.
