Germany: Is Merz’s win enough to secure a stable government?

Firstpost  

The crucial question now is which coalition will help Friedrich Merz secure the Chancellorship, and how stable and enduring that coalition would be On Sunday, February 23, general polls were held in Germany, marking a rare snap election held seven months ahead of its scheduled time. Loser All the Way The center-left Social Democrats, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and the neoliberal Free Democratic Party, whose withdrawal from the coalition triggered the snap election, emerged as the biggest losers. Owning responsibility for the loss, outgoing Chancellor Scholz said, “This time the election result is bad, and that is why I am also responsible for this election result.” He added, “The fact that an extreme right-wing party like the AfD is getting such election results in this country must never be something we accept.” Despite the crushing defeat, the SPD may still have some hope due to Germany’s electoral system, a point I will address later. Merz has ruled out a coalition with AfD, while CSU leader Markus Söder has ruled out working with the Greens, leaving CDU/CSU with Hobson’s choice of forming a renewed ‘Grand Coalition’ with the SPD.
