Germany goes to the polls on the 24th.

Chancellor Merkel's bifurcated Christian Democrat Party / Christian Social Union is far out in front. But, its projected vote combined with that of the Free Democratic Party now falls several points short of 48, which is about the minimum for them to form a majority coalition in the Bundestag.

Merkel rules out any deal with the euroskeptic/anti-immigrant Alternative Party.

The article says that CDP/CSU will be forced into a shotgun wedding with its current junior partner, the Social Democratic Party. The whole of the CDP/CSU, the article implies, has turned into the equivalent of RINOs.

If the recent polls are correct, I would strongly recommend Merkel attempt to form a minority government with the FDP, and not continue with current arrangement with the SDP. See what the members of the Bundestag, in secret ballot, will vote for.

Otherwise, Merkel's long tenure as Chancellor may end up as efficiency without direction.

Merkel should be in prison for high treason for the rest of her miserable life for willfully flooding the country with Mohammadan rapists and murderers.

A big thank you to my great Grandfather for leaving that hell hole in the 1880’s.
