  1. Refusing to work with others should be grounds for revoking political party license. Politics is all about compromise and negotiation. If a party Refuses to negotiate, they're not a political party, but instead a religion. The president should be authorized to force parties to act like grown-ups and negotiate with everyone. And if not, then to put parties in govt by percentage of vote (eg SDP 20%, Cdu 18%, Afd 10%, greens 5% = 53% for presidential mandated govt). For those arguing Freedom of association: sure, but when you enter politics, you understand that you give up on some things, such as privacy and slander protection (as a public official). The same should be true for association. You signed up for the job. Just as freedom of association doesn't mean you don't need to work with coworkers. You can either work with coworker or freely associate with another company (eg resign), so political party members can either work with other political party members or freely associate by leaving parliament. What do you think?

  3.  @silvester_jk  True, but germany and many other countries run a coalition system where parties very rarely get over 50% (majority) and thus must work with others to reach a majority. I think the top parties should form coalitions if they cannot agree (example: AFD-CDU-SDP coalition). This would best reflect the will of the people.

  13.  @Ehvelynne  Please show in their platform where they want to disband democracy. In germany, the constitutional court can disband any political party on these and other grounds. It has not. And as such, such statements must be false. Unfortunately, its not just fox news that hypes, exaggerates, and even sells false news.

  16.  @Ehvelynne  For some reason, my comment deleted. Wanted to say that germanys constitutional court can abolish any political party that seeks to abolish democracy or other reasons like this. As such, the claim that they seek to abolish democracy must not be tr*e.
