V interesting to see the report for a German audience.

I note you don't even configure reaction from within (any of) the Labour party as being part of the 'die Linke' response, but refer the to SWP/SP as reps of the left.

A straightforward question - would you have attributed 'leftness' or not differently had you been wrting for a British audience?

Is the Merkel government constied as part of 'die Linke', or just the government?
