Forecasts point to green-black in Baden-Württemberg again

The situation is both comfortable and complicated for the two governing parties. A continuation of the government work would be for Alliance 90 / The Greens* and CDU * definitely possible. The two parties steer up together around 60 percent of the vote to – maybe even more. Both sides emphasize that there is no automatic mechanism for a continuation of the coalition. But Winfried Kretschmann and the CDU top candidate Susanne Eisenmann According to the surveys from Baden-Württemberg, the other options are running out.

Possible coalitions according to the polls for the state election in Baden-Württemberg in 2021

For Kretschmann would come arithmetically Green-red-red in question. Two things speak against the alliance with the SPD and The left*. First, the Left Party is a shaky candidate for entry into the state parliament. The polls before the state elections in Baden-Württemberg showed it to be below the 5 percent hurdle. Second, Kretschmann has always been considered the green of the more conservative party wing. That would hardly make him the man for a state government of this kind FDP * In the year before the state elections, he was also open to a coalition with the Greens. But the liberals could just as easily orient themselves in the other direction.

The CDU is allowed to Black-red-yellow to hope. For this, Susanne Eisenmann needs an SPD that focuses on the role of Junior partners wants to get in the Union. That is also a very uncertain calculation, because the Social Democrats are looking to work together with the Greens. Neither the CDU nor any of the other parties are seeking a coalition with the AfD.

As long as the forecasts for the state election in Baden-Württemberg in 2021 do not show a clear trend reversal, everything points to a continuation of Green-black down. Above all, the question that remains open is who will get the most votes and who will ultimately be allowed to nominate the Prime Minister.
