Ah yes of course, a schnap vote!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Blitzwahl?
Merkel appears to be taking a long term approach to leeching off her political oppositions strengths. That's a dangerous move but can shore up support for an interim period. The flexibility of the CDU will be tested if she does this again. One time is a fluke, twice will set off existential alarms in the party. Slave to the Patriarchy no more

Of course. Still - this case is stronger than the nuclear case. Nuclear power is a fairly weak differentiator in modern politics given its more abstract nature (compared to marriage). You really only find technical-minded (but woefully ignorant) people arguing for Nuclear power. Most adherents forget utterly the crass and inept nature of the existing industry at large that happens to be wedded to Uranium-based BWR/PWR designs that are prohibitively expensive to run. This doesn't discount new nuclear technologies that are cheaper and safer (which are continually ignored by said industry), but given that it's a fight between a minority of fan boys on the "Pro"-side and a minority of ardent anti-Nuclears on the Green side, the political loss from picking any side is negligible except when dramatic cases are in the news (Fukushima and Tepco's criminal incompetence comes to mind).
Gay marriage is more of a strong culture war than Nuclear has been for many years. Even with the overwhelming support for, Merkel still chose to preserve her apparent "Marriage is only for straights"-private position despite publicly claiming a change of heart (the dinner with the homosexual couple...) enough to call a free vote. German politics have been more interesting of late. I can't tell if that's a good thing. Slave to the Patriarchy no more
