Suppose there were no surveys, Corona would still be primarily a type of beer, the Ahr and other West German rivulets would never have turned into raging rivers, the CDU base would not be so terribly rebellious, the journalists would ask fewer questions, Twitter existed not and – now he is really becoming very theoretical – Markus Söder would be a cautious person. Then Armin Laschet would of course have easily won the recent federal election. At least that’s how Armin Laschet sees it.
