Stephan - Die Tageszeitung is hardly "extreme left-green-alternative". It's more like The Grauniad, though with a little less cant, and considerably better grammar and spelling.
In this case, what we are witnessing is a combination of Volksmacht, Schadenfreude, high-minded principle, and an unwillingness to allow an intensely annoying aristocratic sleb to take the p**s. In no particular order of importance.
