Oh dear its worst than I was informed about on the news here. Thank goodness like Sky & Cat filling in what has been left out.

In German:

A possible worst case scenario. After some weeks, the SPD will kick its arrogant leader/lloser Martin Schulz, and accept a continuation of the great coalition, which will bring Germany another four/five more years of the same.

One could also say it would be a betrayal of the voters.

Merkel however, proudly declaring she cannot imagine at all that anything must be changed in her courses plot, would be utmost happy. This scenario would solve all her problems, and she can continue just as if nothing ever had happened.

A German nightmare. Merkel is like a kraken strangling Germany to death.

Well that's just sad. I wonder when I return to Germany which I must in the next couple years whether I will recognize it.

Nonsense, Merkel of the CDU will of course be in the new government, she has the most votes after all.
What the SPD does or not, is of no concern in the short run. It is only honest from Schulz to admit they did not get the votes. Worst result after 1949 for the SPD.

To have a real discussion and effort to improve things, it is only good that the SPD is now in the opposite camp and developing new ideas, maybe this will make some people aware of what this new government is lacking.

For the CDU as well. ;)

Where is our man on the street who can separate fact from BS, Skybird you are needed.

So what options are open angry Merkel? Are you heading for another election?

The "FDP" had some real fun blowing it all up :haha:
All of the parties had the will for a compromise, but not the FDP.
The FDP's role of a "beleidigte Leberwurst" [~act "like a prima donna") was of course staged, all comments and the final speech had been there a fortnight ago. They are the party of the 0,1 percent who want to give money to those who deserve it – the billionaires. People are just too dumb to read their program, so this is how they raked in the 10 percent of votes.

However Merkel has a problem now. How i wish it wasn't the only one :03:
Maybe we can send her to Rhodesia err Merkelia err Zimbabwe :rolleyes:

Long lists of foul compromises that would have rendered every party's claimed positions nill and void anyway. No loss. No gain. the misery goes on. Having a mixed coalition with four different parties, would have been misery as well. And plentyof pointlessness.

Merkel is done. No loss, but agaon, nobody comign after her will do lesser damage.

Only plenty of bad and worst options: before the election, during the negotiaton, and now. Even a great coalition again would be a disaster. The political system is as eroded and in lack of substance, as is the monetarian system.

Its all over but the crying. More of it to follow next year. No good oiptions are left anymore, its all a mess, no matter what gets done.

Frankly I'm quite glad that thee "Jamaica coalition" didn't come to being. Too many parties with too different views. They would only have been able to agree to minimalist compromises and to nothing that would moved the country forward.

I reckon another election and she'll eventually remain in power but her status as 'head' of the EU has been considerably weakened.

All we need is her to fail and that may see the end of her.

Merkel is so disconnected from reality that since quite some time she shows the self-understanding of a nonredeemable monarch. She simply cannot see when it is game over.

Mugabe, anyone?

Its bad if she stays. It is bad with those coming after her. There is no suitable candidate. The whole poltical pseudo-elite is a mess. They all should go and make room for people who were not bred from the parties' systems and established networks. The parties and their self-interests are not the ones bringing solutions -. they are the problem.

Germany is there, with or without Merkel. Politicians are overrated :haha:
