Why would a right-winger who supported SPD in 1998 not support them again in 2002 ?

Well the reason I see myself supporting the SDP in '98 is not only because of the party's 3rd way centrism and moderation but also as a "it's time to retire Kohl" vote. His government had been in power too long and Germany needed some fresh air, by 2002 there was no longer any such need.

"Let's have left-wingers win elections once every 30 years, just for fun's sake. But only for one term, otherwise they might be tempted to enact left-wing policies." Wink

Yeah that actually sums it up pretty well.
