Stuttgart (AP) - Baden-Württemberg's SPD leader Andreas Stoch has announced, with a view to a possible majority of Greens and Social Democrats in the state elections, that in case of doubt, a green-red coalition will be preferred to a more stable three-party alliance.

"There have historically been enough examples that a one-vote majority was governed in a stable manner," said Stoch of the German press agency on Sunday.

If it were mathematically possible and "good" for the country, he would advocate a two-person constellation.

Big advantage: You can enforce more of your own content in a two-party alliance than in a three-party constellation, for example with the FDP.

Therefore, in case of doubt, the Greens and the SPD would probably prefer a two-party coalition to a three-party coalition, speculated Stoch.

In the evening it was still unclear whether the Greens and the SPD would theoretically have a majority in the state parliament.

Both parties had already ruled in Baden-Württemberg from 2011 to 2016.
