    Not so fast! One of the coalition partners - FDP - will find a way to block that. It’s their schtick, their voters - around 4-5%, maybe less - love that behaviour. They are the leader of the opposition at the moment, making our political system a running joke across europe.

      Nah, this time its the conservatives / nazis (CxU, AfD) wanting to cancel the new law that will greatly help a lot of people.

      So yea, Consevatives being evil again. Shocking, I know.

      The FDP is in on the legalisation. I suspect they eye profits and deregulation along the way. But yea, otherwise the FDP is the one doing the sabotage, this time is just the exception.

        Conservatives are against it, that is true, but the governing Ampel coalition would have a majority if the FDP doesn’t screw it up last minute as it seems to be their newest favorite game

      Opposed to all those other laws FDP is blocking, this one the FDP vehemently wants and its the SDP who has been blocking it.

      In this specific case the FDP is not the problem, but the CSUs plan to block it in the Bundesrat.

        Wrong. The law is designed in a way so it doesn’t need the Bundesrat’s approval.

          Yes the CSU is wrong with that, but that doesn’t stop them from trying it anyways.

      Nah, they’re actually in favor of a full legalization (I mean in that case there is money to be made for companies after all). The coalition party blocking that in this case would be the SPD.

      The FDP is definitely pro legalization. But the conservative SPD might become a problem.

        No. The FDP loves to talk about legalization. Once it’s legalized they lose one of their main talking points for young voters.

      Yes, all across Europe there’s no other joking topic other than the political system of Germany.

      Rest of Europe, this is what Germans think humor is.

      Can I just say I thought that between Liz Truss’ 50 day premiership and abortive budget which cost the UK £30bn, the continuing Brexit debacle, and Boris “The Clown” Johnson, that the UK was the running joke of Europe.

      The FDP is currently part of the ruling government, not the opposition.

        Please inform the FDP about that
