German Coalitions Exercise

The Christian Democrats best strategy is to form a coalition with the Social Democrats in

order to get 53% of the vote. While the Social Democrats are more environmentally conscious,

they recognize the value that the highway can bring to the countries tourism. The Social

Democrats want to build a golf course and that itself will certainly bring the business the

Christian Democrats would like to see. The Christian Democrats can offer the compromise of

building a highway with the golf course. As for the environmental concern of the Social

Democrats, the Christian Democrats can preserve German scenery by compromising restrictions

on the highway for things such as: where the new businesses will be located, and how many gas

stations will be along the highway. The Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats have a

similar stance on immigration and refugees. Both parties can work together to create restrictions

on immigration with the new highway so that tourism is promoted rather than settlement.
