they went all in with free market ideology and happily supported wholesale slashing of social security and workers’ rights and sweeping privatisation of the public sector

Ah yes, implementing neoliberal policies under Schröder I really depended on the 47 Greens that held 7% of the seats of the 14th Bundestag.

This mindset was best portrayed by the Green prime minister of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann

Kretschmann who is among the most conservative members of his party is your prime example for green policy?

It wasn't only the 47 in the Bundestag, it was the party leadership that set this agenda, and the party tolerating it. The same applies to Kretschmann. The party tolerates someone with his mindset acting on its behalf.
