Social Dems demand Carstensen to step back from office

DThe schleswig-holsteinian social dems decline regardless of the coalitiontwist the dissolvement of parliament. If the prime cannot continue or doesnt like to continue, hes welcome to step back," declared social dem head Stegner. In a vote that was put up toaday or will be put up today, the Christ dems intend to vote on friday for the dissolvement of parliament....»

One close thought: the recent nuclear accident in NPP Kruemmel. Kruemmel is on Schleswig-Holstinian territory and the nuclear watchdog responsible for the NPP is from Schleswig Holstein. Looks like Mr.Carstensen gets unbelievably busy in the aftermath. Lets have a look bac to the last municipal vote which was in 2008: the Christ Dems got 36% in towns and other municipalities, the social dems 26% and the leftparty 7%. In parliament, there is a total of 69 seats. The social dems got 42% of all seats or 29 seats. A 2/3 majority is needed to dissolve parliament.There is no majority that would guarantee a dissolvement of parliament. The last election was held 2005. I mean the current situation is pretty well and defined, so its not clear to me why the Christ Dems want a dissolvement - except some special or maybe "delicate" circumstance forces them to do so - maybe an investigation into a nuclear accident. So: Carstensens move is politely surprising and doesnt have any guarantee to work.
