If I remember well, the Grundgesetz should have been replaced by a constituition at the Wiedervereinigung. Didn't happen.

The German system was set up to prevent popular sentiment from taking effect quickly, that's true. In the past, authoritarian features came to bear to basically keep a course and pursue policy against majority opinion, as per - but this one feels different.

From migration to energy price to deindustrialisation, there is no course, no policy, apart from the usual background grift and corruption that comes with government funding.

All the effort seem to be directed to afford the elites to deny reality, retreat into a fantasy world and govern that.
