> Germany can be saved only by a major political reset. The mainstream parties are so flawed that it may be easier to replace them, than to fix.

Ironically enough, this very much sounds like the "let's re-write and everything will be better" fallacy encountered in software engineering.

That aside, what you are wishing for is a war and/or revolution where the pillars of society have been shattered to pieces, the old incumbents removed/killed/retired, and where a new political landscape is built upon the ruins and ashes of what has been.

Be careful what you wish for..



They just mean to change the parties, this happened once in the US (whigs are no more).
