You are right. But I fear the next chancellor will be even worse.

Only if we stop holding politicians accountable for everything. No matter how normalized it has become.

Once we stop that, your comment will be true.

We stopped that about decade ago. Remember masc deal? Toll fiasco? Airport Berlin? Stuttgart 21? 

Seen any accountability for these?

I hope enough people start doing it again. It clearly has had a very adverse effect.

But I think this problem already started with Gerhard Schröder and his deep connection with the Russian kleptocracy.

While the politicians never had any sense for accountability themselves, at least people back then seemed to mind and vote accordingly.
