Germany 2009: SPD at lowest level ever

[minionofmidas]

I'd like to see an SPD/Linke coalition. Practical considerations aside, we'd finally get that SPD/KPD coalition that should've come about 75 years ago.

(KPD→SED→Linke, no?)

Ah, but the SED was a fusion of KPD and SPD, so East Germany already had such a government.

Coercion can't count.

Coercion played a role there. A very major role. But was not the sole factor.
