Germany is like 3 election terms away from being a CDU one party state and even then two of those terms are basically the social democracts doing christian democrat stuff
Which is even funnier when you realize there’s no like legal / constitutional reason for there to not be a plurality government that gets like weed legalized or whatever (I think that’s been politically viable for about 20 years at this point), it’s just the underlying assumption is if you don’t have a massive 50%+ coalition the country will go under, like Weimar, due to infighting. It’s basically placing some notion of “stability” over everything else. Which is currently in it’s funniest phase as the govering coalition is the greens, the libertarians and the rightest-wing of the social democrats who get fucking nothing done due to infighting.
Hence, I propose that germany is a one party state ruled by the party of “stability”, which is every party
it’s just the underlying assumption is if you don’t have a massive 50%+ coalition the country will go under, like Weimar, due to infighting
Even funnier that the country might really go under (again) because they started a war with Russia (again) and are in the process of losing because of insane and totally unrealistic assumptions about Russia (again)
