As I predicted, Annalena Baerbock is the Greens' candidate, it has just been formally announced. Since the CDU/CSU still are deadlocked in their selfdestruction, it still is possible that they make Laschet their candidate. In that case I see very realistic chances for Baerbock and the Greens to win the chancellor's office this autumn. If the union gets back to its senses and goes with Markus Söder (whose polling results currently are 3-4 times higher than that of Laschet...), the election is less open and predictable.

The SPD has its head in an imagined glorious past, and excells in this. Since this seems to be very relevant and satisfying for them, they do not care too much to win elecitons in the present. (And if they would, i still do not see they would have the means).
