8. If you're interested in British media criticism of german left
Edited on Sat Sep-24-05 12:31 PM by 1932
check out the 17 September Today programme on BBC4. You can get it at iTunes.

It was like a commerical for Merkle. They hit home the taglines: "Merkle" is german for growth and "Schroeder" translates to stagnation. Also, everyone was looking forward to Merkle winning.

One thing that was so annoying (IIRC) was the presumtion that social spending is bad for growth. They should call up Amratya Sen in Cambridge and let him rebut this presumtpion.

Perhaps the desperation was a reflection of how tight the polls were.
