How cool that this quiz made it! :) For anyone who'd like a quick overview of who these people were, go to this blog article. I had meant to write for a long time, and now this quiz getting selected has made me finally do it.
Ja das hoffe ich inständig als halb-Libanese. Dieses Land geht unter der aktuellen Regierung komplett unter. Das Land muss schleunigst Leute wie Höcke an der Spitze haben um große Probleme wie fehlende Integration und Kriminalität zu lösen. 2025 WIRD BLAU GEWÄHLT
During the Weimar Republic alone, there were 16 Chancellors - more than one per year! Only hardcore history nerds will know all of them. From the top of my head, there's Ebert, Stresemann, Brüning, Papen and Schleicher, the last one before Hitler. Schleicher is easy to remember since it means "crawler" or, figuratively, "brown-noser" in German.
Although jokes aside, 16 years in power does seem a bit much to me. As flawed as the American political system is, I think having a cap of 10 years (8 in practice) for an executive is a good idea.
If someone's doing a good job, people should be allowed to re-elect them as often as they wish. While Merkel was terrible she was still liked by enough people.
Quite interesting to see Merz lose in the first round of votes. It will be fascinating to see how that impacts the coalition going forward given the very public tensions.
And Höcke was many times at the judgement because of Nazi Paroles (!!!).
