You know that this is an oversimplification, Lüko, even if you don't 
believe in working in Die Linke. There is a strong wing opposed to 
participation in government, althought admittedly there is a strong 
"realo" wing, particularly in the section that came out of the PDS in 
the East, where the party is the official opposition in most states.

All the best, Einde
