That the German SPD and FDP position themselves often against green policies might actually be quite smart. This way, they force the greens for (fiscal) concessions for those areas where all parties differ while still getting green policies “for free.”

So even when we assume green policies objectively serve the grater good, it makes still sense to be against them as center-party to gain political capital.

Also, green voters lose politically on other fronts.
