Germany’s centre-Right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party and the centre-Left Social Democrats (SPD), which are holding coalition talks, have proposed a law that will block people with multiple extremism convictions from standing in elections.

    Maybe also consider bribery convictions and we might get rid of a few CDU/CSU politicians as well 🙃

        If the thing that user asked to happen doesn’t happen then the thing won’t happen?

        Do you smell burnt toast?

          My understanding was that they asked that politicians with bribery convictions are blocked from running in elections (aka the topic of this thread).

          Which can not happen if the prerequisite bribery convictions - which is something different from being blocked from the elections - have not been met.

      By far not the same level as extremism.

      Fck little sister of whataboutism, the self-elevating sarcasm.
