Germany's new government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz is already almost as unpopular as the previous one, due to quarrelling over government spending. That's according to the latest ARD-Deutschlandtrend survey.
He spend years ranting about the former governent’s uselessness (the one that did more work in 2 years than the usual C*U-led government in 8…) and making big promises… only to break them all within weeks of the election (some of the big ones even before becoming chancellor).
So what we got is yet another perfect example of right-wing populist reality: Making a big show of rolling back progress made by the former government as a diversion from all money gifted to his rich buddies while also silently keeping all the former government’s neccessary but often unpopular changes he was most outspoken against. Sadly neither reality nor economy actually care for culture war bullshit.
It’s basically “We are in power again so now everything will magically become better while we do nothing but enrich ourselves”. And their brain-dead voters see no actual problem. Sure… they criticise the (obviously non-existent) results, but will still vote exactly the same again, like they do every single time (for reference: C*U lost only about 1.something % or so in polls since the election).
What government?
