Party. I got me it bothers me a lot. I do think it shows a real trend but i dont think the f. D. A. Is stronger than the s. P. D. And aside from that approval for the s. P. D. Is far too low and a large part of that is due to all the back and forth we allowed ourselves in the past week that needs to come to an end now we need to agree to the Coalition Deal join germanys government and use this work to restore old strength or at least an appropriate amount of strength so out of those about some im going to have. You say old strength but are you just a bit tougher than some of your Party Comrades after all you won the parliamentary election in your home state just thirteen point two percent. Yes i mean are accustomed to these kinds of ups and downs than older colleagues from a more stable areas like hamburg or north rhinewestphalia. Its volatile voter approval shoots up rapidly but ive also won parliamentary elections with forty two percent and last a year later with just fourteen percent. That shows how quickly things can change. But yes i can handle it i know approval cant windell rapidly but that you can regain trust with hard work and Voting Results arent permanent approval rates. Thats what youre working on right now you just came back from the s. P. D. Is regional conference where the parties member vote between government or opposition was discussed what was the mood like. Towards the Party Leadership it was fairly cautious but it was more positive regarding the Coalition Agreement there was substantive debate on the points we had negotiated with the Christian Democratic Union which Everybody Knows that seventy percent of the agreement has the s. P. D. Signature and that is met with a lot of support not for everything apart for about ninety percent and they know we can keep these promises we currently have trust issues with the s. P. D. Leadership and that includes me im aware of it and know it needs to change. First of all we need to be given the chance to continue taking responsibility thats the deciding point if that goes wrong everything about the membership vote is wrong but now i think we need to focus on keeping a direct course towards social democrats taking part in the government. And towards germany taking an affirmative and defining role in europe thats positive not like the rejection of the f. T. Or the Classical Liberal f. D. P. Partys voice in parliament then i think things will work out. You know personally also advocate another coalition with the city you but the last two times the s. P. D. A merged weekend by working with the union why should this time be any different. If i were trying to be funny id say because we cant get any weaker but realistically its wrong to conclude that the coalition or that is. Political priorities within the coalition are to blame for bad election results. There was more to it than just that and it wasnt just about whether to govern with the conservative union or the socialist left party i think the main issues are other the s. P. D. Needs high recognition value within the coalition we need to address future topics in addition to daily management and we need to realize that in this legislation we dont have one Large Coalition we have one board to start that consists of six Party Factions in which the s. P. D. And c. D. U. Combined make up only fifty three percent. Of. Whats called. It so those opposing another grand coalition also argue that they always leave the s. P. D. Weaker than before do you think head of the s. P. D. Is Youth Organization is justified in this position and in leading the campaign against the grand coalition. Up there. I think its very acceptable in a democratic process of generating political will even when he tried rallying new members to join in vote against the coalition. You know thats wrong he was against that at first he said were campaigning for people to join the party and vote no. No it was the youth socialist leader in north rhinewestphalia who talked about paying ten year as membership for two months afterwards he clearly stated and i agree with him that new members are always welcome by the way we already have very many who want to vote in favor of the coalition out of the front office but they have to commit to social democratic goals for the long term. Considering the spectacle weve made of ourselves lately i dont suppose the s. P. D. Is particularly vogue right now but we are nevertheless germany Strongest Party based on membership numbers and i think a large part of the population shares our basic values. In that case we lost in the last election for many reasons one of them was the refugee situation the elephant in the room that the s. P. D. Never talked about. And then so i said what should the s. P. D. Have done. Big mistake was that we didnt even talk about it that he did so many people and when families have heated arguments about it at home but the main parties leave the topic completely then its understandable they no longer feel represented and yes that was a mistake. Its. Now at the National Conferences you are advocating for the Coalition Deal saying that its quite substantive and that you are able to govern but the decisive s. P. D. Vote on the matter is tainted by the fact that it includes new members of whom you cant be sure if they only join the s. P. D. To reject the coalition they make up about five point two percent or roughly twenty four thousand new members arent the results distorted no matter what they are. The result will be a democratic one. About new members could tip the scale. Yes thats true everybody knew that right from the onset thats how it was the last time too and i think we social democrats are living democracy in its purest form for its members and some kind of voting cackle. Each has a right to vote just like me and im sure many new members are going to stay a long while. Not only young people who joined the age group is very diverse there are plenty who want to vote in favor of the coalition because they think the agreement is good and while the country to have a stable s. P. D. Party. Is vital to this country. Still think that everyone expects the vote to be close what happens if the s. P. D. Rejects the Coalition Agreement will it sink further towards ten percent is this the path to political suicide. To vote yes and im completely focused on that one go i dont even consider it going any other way just like the German Football Team in russia certainly isnt thinking about what would happen if they are eliminated in the very first matches theyre focused on winning and when they focus theyll succeed. Former party leader sharping said a no vote could be fatal to the party. Yes i am sure this is a decisive turning point for our party as well as for all of germany. This is the most important vote since it was founded. The first time you were voted into parliament was in one thousand nine hundred. Ten the s. P. D. Was entirely different i. Became the chancellor and you travel to bonn instead staying in the buddhist any longer than twelve years just makes you soft in the head youve now been there for twenty years has your hypothesis proven itself. No i think the only thing it proved was that twelve years can seem like an eternity when youre twenty two or it was pure chance that i was elected to the bundestag i just decided to run in my own electoral district where the s. P. D. Had never won before i wanted to show that there were still young people engaged in shaping democracy but i never would have expected to get elected. For years you were the financial expert and now as a right hand man the current faction leader. You have all these other topics as well is this huge responsibility intimidating. I certainly respected yes but im not intimidated ive known my colleagues for many years i might still be one of the youngest but within the faction ive served longer than most. A big part of organizing a party is faction is to have a sense for how your colleagues think and feel and to be able to inspire them to go along in decisions and prepare them for it. So theyre still considering that yes i respect that very much. There are topics im not very well versed in yet such as domestic and foreign policies but im working on it. Yes p. D. Wants to reinvent itself you practically have to reinvent yourself too with this much larger and heavier responsibility that only works when you come to understand what happened in the past do you personally have any explanation for how martin shorts could drop in his Approval Ratings from one hundred percent as the party leader to just twenty point five percent as a candidate for the chancellorship. To begin with i wouldnt ever wish for one hundred percent approval rate for anybody because it makes the burden they must bear too heavy and the expectations to fulfill them too high. He will probably need a long time to restore its previous strength and i dont mean forty something im talking about shooting for thirty percent approval rating. Thats what it takes to be a decisive force in germany to be a serious choice when it comes to electing a chancellor. If you had kept your word from back then when you were first elected into parliament you would have left a long time ago would have become a bank clerk and by now moved up to Bank Director you have a quiet job plenty of time for your family lots of things would have been different. Yes they were you have preferred that you know i wouldnt have i made a conscious decision to enter the bundestag and its an exhausting job but also the challenge is exciting and different every day its a big responsibility and a big honor. And its never boring i think thats the best way to describe ones job. Come on well that certainly applies to the s. P. D. In recent times. Id like to ask you to complete the sentences politics especially when youre the parliamentary director of your partys faction its never just a nine to five job. So what i want most for my children is. To be able to give them the time they need on the weekends if not occasionally during the week. When i go fishing im particularly good at switching off when i fish by tom left in peace. Fish for the s. P. D. To land more votes i want to. Very double historic credibility i think thats the case i think many people have lost their faith in the s. P. D. Thats it done for this case my pleasure. Club.
