Whats The Stuff Inside Fire Extinguishers Called?

change of power with the Greens

the top candidate Jürgen Trittin and Renate Kuenast threatened after the election, on the basis of a lack of presence at the convention weekend, the loss of power.

Cem Özdemir said to the outhouse Joschka Fischer in an interview with TIME ONLINE, it had gone a "super-rock 'n' Roller" lost. Now, where would New to avoid the direct comparison can not, because they play on the same stage and have something to do with each other in the backstage area.

The top candidates. They are in election-time top of the inner green power structure. Unlike 2005, there is also this time a double tip. Not the former Foreign Minister graces the election posters, but the former Environment Minister Juergen Trittin and the former Consumer Protection Minister Renate Kuenast.

Both made in advance and at the Berlin Congress an unfortunate FIG. With their targets, they could not prevail. First, there was still hypothetical at the debate on the coalition partners in September, which employs the Greens intensively since April. Blame were the leading candidates, who early on a traffic light with the SPD and FDP firmly placed as the "only realistic option". It should seem far-sighted, but they were cut from the base of the ears. Many delegates see in the Westerwelle party the greatest possible opponents in the party system. Then I'd rather risk an offensive left alliance called for major national associations.

Künast Trittin and therefore had at the party inhibited strange. Long they had to call an election the former position in perspective. A traffic light is not mentioned explicitly. The debate on this motion states pursued Künast Trittin and with downcast eyes. Often they were criticized for their rushing forward, sometimes openly, sometimes indirectly. Their social-liberal-green project failed in 2009, Berlin. The delegates signaled once again that they left social-green preferred.

Moreover, what some Green party members complain privately: that at least Trittin doubly ambivalent behavior. Previously, the old Fundi was compared to a red-green-red alliance opposed anything but. But probably he had calculated that he had no chance with this position, Foreign Minister become, they say.

political coalition, not only in content and Künast Trittin failed with central guidelines. In the few available votes, the delegates voted against the liberal, autonomous components that had just Künast stressed in the run-in interviews. Her aim was to recruit "creative middle class."

The nominal party leadership. Claudia Roth, Cem Özdemir, had there been a better stand the two party leaders who back the campaign in the second term, were much applauded speech, and were by many delegates praised explicitly: Unlike the two old minister at the helm knew Roth and Özdemir better, which have tormented the party.

Roth it was, the - advertised as the first top politician of the compromise-election appeal - with its usual fervor. The atmosphere at Künast, completed their review of the debate, was against frosty.

Özdemir again was he who was in the three days, probably most of the interviews. He, a rising star in the green tip round, arouses the greatest interest of the media from home and abroad, which he gladly served. To kick off the party conference, he gave a powerful, poignant speech - and put more emphasis, such as when he antrug the present writer Yasar Kemal the honorary chair for the International Green.

The faction leader. Fritz Kuhn (he exercises the Faction Office in collaboration with Renate Kuenast off) was instrumental in the election campaign, that everyone in the party are so proud. He is one of the few who can point to the tens of thousands the number down to get the sectors in which the million new green jobs.

The seamless transition. Striking about these politicians is that they are all almost exactly the same age. Up to Özdemir, all born in 1953 and '56. This is no accident: When the party was based, were Trittin, Künast, Roth and Kuhn, the tips of Europe Reinhard Bütikofer and Rebecca Harms young twenty-somethings. They are the foundation of the Youth Open, the post-Fischer-cohort.

But as with the youth so. They faded. This legislature and perhaps the next will keep the mid-fifties, still at the top. But no more after 2013. Presumably, the generation change will come faster. If the Greens remain after the election to the opposition.

Finally, there is a new and oncoming generation. Most often the Hessian Greens leader Tarek Al-Wazir is called as a coming man. However, Al-Wazir is a liberal Realo. He spoke at the party to the Single Child amount - and clearly lost. Enforced

in Berlin, have left, often young speakers, often from North Rhine-Westphalia. Presumably they will one day generation Özdemir / Al-Wazir in the Replace top. One can remember today, if not before switching to Attac. Arvid Bell, born in 1984, gave one of the strongest, most passionate speeches. However, Bell is a staunch leftist, grassroots democracy and may not be critical of the ancients saves. Previously he would have been called Fundi.
