The Left Party says "there shouldn't be any billionaires." With Germany gearing up for an election, the far-left force has launched a new tax plan — though it will most likely never get a chance to implement it.
Yeah, but it not unlikely that “Die Linke” wont get into Parliament because of the “5% Barrier”(A Mechanism that prevents parties from entering the German Parliament, if they are below 5% total votes. There are some complicated exceptions, but basicly this is it). Furthermore many Parties dont want to form a coalation with them and this could be against german constitution
…
So this is very unlikely to happen.
They are almost certain to enter because they’ll get three or more direct seats. Which isn’t complicated at all. Heck there’s plenty of CDU voters who’d vote for Gysi. It also doesn’t look too bad when it comes to taking the 5% hurdle directly.
Of course, getting into parliament is not the same as getting into government, that would require a miracle.
You can’t say it’d be against the constituion. That is debatable (and debated, see e.g. Wolfgang Abendroth).
The interpretation of the constitution is subject to powerdynamics as well. And it’s the only smart way to design a constitution if it’s meant to be the everstanding stable foundation of a society. … cause you know, those tend to change

No I say a law thats works as promised would be (imho) against the constitution
