Even if they deny them these privileges, the resulting show of hipocrisy would only drive even more conservative voters towards the AfD. There's a reason why German MSM currently is more salty than the Dead Sea.

EDIT: Nevermind about that, the SPD decided to become the main opposition party.

"Tradition" does not need to be followed, as it is not actually enforced by anything other than the whims of those already in power. Unless it's law, then you are likely in for a severe disappointment expecting it to be followed.

In the US, if Trump's election had boiled down to "tradition" instead of rules, then President Clinton would have already entered us into WW3 with Russia and China to try and save the Petrodollar.
