Everything is bad, must be bad, so that it can be good. So think and act with some politicians. Well, some noticed. And yet, this must be a topic of public discourse. Because it’s the reality we live in, not your cartoon. It’s about a part of tries (more and more) to draw people to the dark side. By contrast, in Germany, not in the Unzustand to present, in an eternally bad Constitution, but against this way of thinking rebel.
we should, also for internal security, a short think, of whether democracy can perhaps be reactionary. The Actions of the American President, for example, is not reactionary? Or that of the Hungarian Prime Minister? The Italian Minister of the interior? And if it would be so – at least in this country it is not, the prospects are not so bleak.
85 percent of the people in Germany, at least, are not lost, confused, eccentric, and extreme. Germany is not vertrumpt in essence, verorbánt, versalvinit. No Emmanuel breaks Macron, with the danger that the radical Right is a real danger in France. You can say this: there has Never been, in this respect, historically, a better Germany than it is today. Or a more “normal”.
And if that is so, it must be for the normal citizens policy. You must be in this way, empathy. If you pay attention to them, their Agenda, who is talking with you, criticism exposes it, and which accepts, as many do, takes the extreme Right-wing attention. The depriving them of a part of the basis for dissatisfaction. And where then it is decided where properly governed, because the satisfaction with the state, with this is Yes. There are signs, such as falling values for the AfD.
prove, prove it
is true: in view of the tremendous urgency of the problem-and-solution – only in key words: climate, banks, debt, Euro, terrorism, energy, raw materials, economic competitiveness, demographic development must prove itself to the policy once more. In order to preserve the democracy against damage. And if of policy, the politicians are not the least meant to be.
So less of the normal citizens as policy-makers are challenged to prove themselves and to prove. In order to pass this challenge, you must get freedom of action and more room, in order to represent the will of the citizens, but to fulfil. So, we are actually in a “turbulent time, the reinvention of the electric oral-representative model”, as the historian Paul Nolte says. But it is not anarchic approach that puts everything in question, through a real “re-invention”. But by returning to the inner freedom of action. And – what is not a contradiction in itself – always new (re-)Reflection: the priority for policy.
But it is a policy that helps the people in very concrete terms. Not that that would be new, only the Actions for the fulfilment of this Maxim must be, as always, and just now adjusted. To get to the everyday Concerns of those who strive, in their large majority, and in your life. The hard work and in the evenings with your children reading stories. Their parents maintain. The volunteer. Their keywords are, in fact, good day care, good care, good education, good work for good pay.

Where is traded, appreciation, and shows the community – a good, rarely used word – just not as a “façade democracy”, in front of Jürgen Habermas, Julian Nida-Rümelin and Peter Bofinger warned. This democracy must be tangible, must tackle, you must always want to do better. Thus, it remains in the essence well.
