Ah, Bankfurt. The thing is, the Greens are very diverse, a wide range of folks with different opinions, some of which would be music to the ears of Wim Duisenberg, others of which would give Jurgen Schrempf a heart attack. The Greens are also very localized, I remember the Ba-Wu university activists from Freiburg, who had one milieu, and the Berlin activists, who had this totally different perspective (squatting, an austerity-mad city government, etc.). The Euroleft is just beginning to discover the virtues of Eurokeynesianism, that polite synonym for soaking the Euro-rich and spending on the rest of the planet.

Damn, that sucks. Anyone know anything about this?
