Germany's Politics of Compromise
The German politics of compromise has been compromised, with the onus on Merz and his ministers to deliver on policy and demonstrate that reason still prevails.
According to John Kampfner, a British author and commentator, Germany's postwar democracy was built on coalition negotiations, or Koalitionsverhandlungen, where mainstream parties forged deals to run the country.
- Coalition and negotiations were the foundation of Germany's democracy.
- No single group or individual could wield unchecked power.
- Measures required committee review, cabinet discussion, compromise, and parliamentary approval.
The painstaking politics of reason must be demonstrated to show that all isn't lost.
