What went wrong? Let's see:

The coalition consisted of:

SocDems ("red" liberals)
Greens ("green" liberals)
Liberals (liberals)

Also in the Parliament as the opposition are:

Conservatives (liberals)
The "Left" (weird liberals, very slightly progressive)
Cult of personality party (very weird liberals)
The blue DEUTSCHLAND party (more openly fascistic liberals)
Some independents (probably liberals)
One confused half Danish person nobody knows how they got there (liberals)

Any questions?

Yes tell me more about this Danish person

Stefan Seidler is from the SSW (South Schleswig Voters' Association), a small party representing the Danish and Frisian minorities in the northernmost federal state in Germany, Schleswig-Holstein. They are exempted from the 5% vote requirement, but rather unremarkable otherwise, politically mostly aligned with the Nordic model (free markets with welfare).

It was kinda funny when they actually got enough votes at the federal elections to get into Berlin. There were some memes about it.

The country’s energy-intensive businesses have suffered from the lingering impact of the energy crisis sparked by Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Yeah, ofcourse, nothing else sparked an energy crisis. Russia put sanctions on itself and then blew up its own gas pipeline.

I don't think that's the same kind of boot. The curved stitch on the left is much farther from the lace holes than the one on the right. The orange band on the heel of the right boot is much thicker than the one on the left, it doesn't have the upwards slope like the one on the left. They're very similar though.

they likely have variants, but yeah it's not exactly the same

We didn't blow up the pipeline
It was always leaking, since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
But when we are gone
It will still burn on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the world's been turning
We didn't blow up the pipeline
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

It seems that the owl of minerva takes flight much more later for liberals

He gleefully approved a €100B handout to the ~~Bundeswehr~~ MIC in 2022, which somehow magically didn't count against the budget or deficit.

This whole thing has a funny taste, especially in a country which almost always just sucks up a nonsensical and ineffective coalition for the full five year maximum term in the name of stability in government.
