🇩🇪 German state & local elections

[DL]

How different would a CDU-Green government be from the former CDU-FDP government?

[DL]

Si what sort of government gets formed? Do we get some sort of CDU led coalition with either SPD or Greens or do we get an SPD-Green-Linke government?

[DL]

I wonder if the following matter has already been broached: If the grand coalition is brought into being, the CDU will gain a majority in the Bundesrat.

I'm not so sure about that. I thought that when coalitions are formed - especially grand coalitions - the state's delegation to the Bundesrat becomes "neutral"

[DL]

Yes but when a state government is a coalition (which it almost always is) doesnt that mean that the state delegation to the Bundesrat is mixed - in other words if there was a CDU-SPD coalition in Berlin and Berlin had 5 Bundesrat members - it would send 3 CDU and 2 SPD members or something like that.

State delegations to the Bundesrat must vote as one as they represent the state government, not individual parties.

Well then presumably one of the "bargaining chips" the SPD could use in their talks with the CDU would an agreement that Berlin votes in the Bundesrat cannot be used to impede the legislative agenda of the federal government?
