Timur Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 It seems that the CDU/CSU's victories were because of Merkel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She probably won her elections due to weak opposition - the same phenomenon that allowed Obama to win in 2012, Trudeau to win in 2019, Blair to win in 2001, and the great majority of Liberal Democratic PM's in Japan to win, period. I wouldn't her, insofar as she is a competent leader, herself, nearly so much so. Which means, these changed polling results probably have other catalysts involved, ultimately. I'd say Merkel is pretty competent. She's steered Germany through quite a few crises and big ones at that. She has never lost an election, and has always gotten her coalitions through all the years in which they're supposed to. In a system like the one they have, that's pretty amazing. I'd say she's more competent than Kohl for sure - more focused definitely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hestia Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 https://www.dw.com/en/germany-spd-greens-and-fdp-ready-to-start-formal-coalition-talks/a-59516636 The SPD, FDP and Greens have agreed to move on to formal coalition talks, and have already agreed to a litany of issues which appear to have papered over quite a few differences. The leaders sound rather upbeat about potential for the coalition to work - and the polls are already paying dividends. POLITICO's poll of polls has the SPD up to 27, Greens up to 16, and FDP up to 14, while the CDU is down to 20 and AfD down to 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hestia Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 https://www.politico.eu/article/future-german-government-to-present-coalition-deal-this-afternoon/ The deal is agreed to. The SPD's Scholz will take the chancellery, FDP and Greens agree to take key posts. Lindner will become Finance Minister, Baerbock will take the Foreign Ministry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
