If Habeck had been placed in a productive, trusting environment, he could have done a lot better, just like he did in Schleswig-Holstein before. But Habeck was placed in an adversarial environment instead and it just killed his style of politics. Unfortunately, he either couldn’t or didn’t want to adapt, even during this past election campaign, where he tried to hold unwilling gonservatives hands.
