        Don’t get me wrong, the CDU/CSU (biggest opposition party) does state they want to bring back concription, it’s just that they’d have to form a coalition with the Greens, the SPD, or both, who are very clearly against this. The only way they could pull this off would be either a landslide victory that none of the losers leading the CDU/CSU right now could conceivably pull off, or a full descent into fascism where they form a government with the far-right AfD. This isn’t something “Germany” considers, it’s a pipe dream where right wing boomers can fantasize about pressing zoomers into military service.
