You know, if I was a German citizen, I would be torn between CDU, Green and the Left, peculiar as that may sound. Green and left represent what I value in life, but Merkel is a politician I actually respect from the outside. She actually seems to care, which is hard to find with conservatives.
The SPD really lost a lot of credibility during the Schröder years that I don't see them regain any time soon, same as Labour under Blair I guess, so that I mostly vote for them for the sad remainder of their left wing and some ideals. I don't really trust the Linke to govern because I've seen too many weird confused people in it, and the Green party regularly pisses me off with their - to me - all too often anti-scientific stance on health, environment and energy. Still, they usually get at lest some of our votes, which in our case last meant supporting Kretschmann, a rather centrist guy for a Green.
