FLOMBIE Posted November 20, 2017 #26 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Just now, stevewinn said: What about if there is another election? no? I do not see the SPD gaining that much in another election. It's possible, but highly unlikely in my opinion. They've had a very poor campaign leading up to the election. I'd see the FDP, neo-liberals, gain more votes in another election, who would then form a coalition with the CDU under Merkel as the chancellor.

keithisco Posted November 20, 2017 #29 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Merkel is pressing for a new election rather than try to govern as a minority party...this would be a risky strategy I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your politicians who are wrapped up in these discussions about a coalition. I assume they are busy not doing their jobs.

Interesting, until last and this week the British media (though those who find their info else where knew) have hardly mentioned the weak position Merkel finds herself in and the Biased Broadcasting Company still can't bring itself to state that Angelas in a worse position than Theresa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is no weakness about Merkel`s position as to be chancellor. Ok, the head of the AfD has requested her to resign already, but hell, these morons request a lot.

Quoting myself. If the general public knew what keir starmer was saying to the German press they'd be surprised to say the least, i see he's been knighted (how did that happen) lord Haw Haw comes to mind.

Don't be surprised, these articles are written by Germans for Germans, expect the same in by British for British article about Germany, France or Italy. For exemple, in The Economist articles about European Union, it's always way too much gloom and doom, as if the EU was only days from breaking apart... for the last 20 years at the very least. Every national news has its bias, if we understand where they have a point and where to bring about a bucketful of salt, these can be very helpful to understand the current event on different angles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewinn Posted November 25, 2017 #43 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) What is all this talk of a "Grand Coalition" and the b****** Martin Schulz being involved. You have to hand it to the EU they have all the right men in place when needed, Draghi and Mario Monti in Italy, Lucas Papademos in Greece, and just as the sinking ship that is the EU was possibly about to lose its Captain up pops another EU apparatchik.
