I've been asked why I'm commenting on the CDU-CSU Söder-Laschet thing, rather than the Grüne chancellor candidate issue
I have said a few things about the Grüne issue, but it's much simpler and less controversial

The Grüne have a joint leadership - Habeck and Baerbock - but there can be only one Chancellor
The two of them will decide which one of them it will be, and it will be announced tomorrow

My money is on it being Baerbock, chances 90% to 10% I reckon
And if it is Baerbock, the amount of fuss about it within the party will be really minimal. If it's Habeck there will be more of a problem, but even then it can be overcome

In short: the Grüne are handling this well, so it's not a media saga
CDU-CSU are not handling this well, so it has become a saga
That's all

(For the record: I am a member of the Grüne, understand how the party works internally, but I have no leaks or information here - I am just applying logic to this, and drawing a conclusion)
