We'll see how far that flies in a country which, while rarely exercising the option, has a viable vote of no confidence as opposed to our byzantine impeachment process. And while the Bundesrat has mostly restricted its purview to domestic fiscal issues in the period since 1949 I understand the constitution is fairly ambiguous as to what the Länder's representatives have purview over. Thus if the political winds change against the CDU (as looks somewhat more likely now) at the same time they try to throw their weight around then the bloc voting of the Bundesrat could mean the party will be stymied by the folks on Leipzigerstrasse. |
