Perhaps Stadtkewitz’s new party is the only reason why Gabriel, the leader of the SPD whose first reaction after Sarrazin’s book was published was to demand that he should be bared from the party instantly, tries to get time in the hope Sarrazin will soon be forgotten. It’s not just that with him the new party would jump over the 5 percent hurdle with ease but the proportion of change – it would cause a kind of landslide no democracy has ever seen before. Surveys would have been beyond recognition had Sarrazin declared that he had already joined the party. At the end of that year, after several elections in federal states, our party landscape would have changed dramatically.
