...in the German State of Baden-Wurtemburg anyway. The State Elections this past Sunday there saw the Green Party ride to power on a huge wave of anti-nuclear sentiment that followed after the Earthquake and the now ongoing crisis at Fukushima. This was a huge blow to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Coalition- and an especially vicious one, as Baden-Wurtemburg has long been a bastion of her perty, the CDU- for the past 58 years.
Now the big question: can the Greens govern?
(Another question: Will Merkel's Coalition survive?)
