TonThe German election coincided with Mr. Z’s birthday, and he decided that as a gift to him, he hoped that the Social Democratic Party would win. We all know very little about German politics. I have some good information, From a podcast I made, Everyone standing is very disappointed, no one should win. In contrast, my husband thinks Olaf Scholz represents real change. Every morning, he publishes opinion poll ratings. The party has gone from being 20 points behind to being 5 points ahead. Can’t guess why this makes him so happy. I put forward an idea, maybe he is predicting some parallel rise in the fate of the Labour Party. But he said no, he just really wanted to see the Social Democrats win a big victory. From the significance of his voice and eyebrows, I managed to realize that it was my responsibility. “I’m not saying it’s impossible,” I said-after all, I fully understand the polls. “I just said I can’t do this.” “Don’t worry,” he said. “I still want something.”
The other thing he desperately wanted was to see a zoo full of bonobos. There are only two, one in Antwerp and one in Twycross. He is ready to compromise and stay there, but he is not ready to give in to the teenagers. They must accompany us and maintain a good mood. He thought I could achieve this by describing the matriarchal society of bonobos and how they mimic the ideals of the community when females are in charge, pure joy and cooperation. I retorted that we can also imitate this ideal and let me be responsible. I will keep the children at home and we can enjoy the zoo. With only the two of us, it will be a perfect day. He said it was ridiculous, but it was not what he wanted, and it was his birthday.
So I want to return to plan A; if you are eligible to vote in the German elections, please vote for the Social Democratic Party, even if you have serious reservations about the limitations of their radicalism.
