Social Democrats seek 'Phantasie' to put them in power
Article Abstract:
The future of the Social Democrats (SPD) in Germany is hard to predict. While the party's numbers in parliament are high and it governs most of Germany's states, it is internally divided and doing poorly in the court of public opinion. The party has been unable to articulate its policies with enough clarity after its loss of power in 1982. Moreover, former East Germans, unhappy about the failure of their financial situation to improve after reunification, have voted for the Party of Democratic Socialism rather than the SPD, which in turn is not sure which audience it should target.
