After the general election, Armin Laschet would like the FDP as a partner, among other things - if the consumptive union in the polls still makes it into a government.

This should certainly not result in a non-aggression pact, but given the popularity of the SPD candidate for chancellor and the increasing probability of a mathematical majority for a red-green-red alliance, the CDU should have other concerns than the respectable, but not outstanding, polls of the FDP.

The concept of a contemporary social market economy, in which economic efficiency and climate protection are combined, would offer a common basis for the Union as well as for the FDP, without their programs becoming congruent.

A bourgeois policy that turns more towards the market economy would be attractive to a large number of voters.

For this, the CDU would finally have to advertise vigorously.

Instead, she throws herself at the FDP in the midst of an already unsuccessful election campaign.

At a loss, helpless, disoriented.

At the end?
