GERMAN ELECTIONS : WHICH FUTURE FOR THIS VICTORY ?

The fantastic victory of Angela Merkel shows the great endorsement of the german people for a very popular Bundeskanzler. The huge, heavy defeat of the FDP which disappears from Bundestag due to the 5% hurdle is really astonishing. This hampers paradoxally the future of Angela Merkel’s government and gives birth to different solutions.

A minority government of the Union (5 seats too short) is always a source of unsteadiness of the biggest european country.

A great coalition is not an obvious solution. After the last great coalition, the SPD lost heavily. Will it want a remake ? It’s not sure that SPD will take its responsabilities.

A third solution should be a coalition Union/Grünen. The ideological proximity does not speak for itself but we can’t exclude anything. We remember the Shröder’s governments when die Grünen were the allies of the SPD. Die Grünen in Germany are on the left side. It should give a serious balance to the Union’s supremacy. It could happen.

A fourth which should be the most undemocratic solution should be a coalition overthrow : SPD/Grünen/die Linke. After having had a very huge victory, Angela Merkel should be put aside by a very left coalition formed by the SPD as a centristic party, die Grünen and the heirs of the german undemocratic East-Germany. Die Linke at power should be the explosion of an awful past at the heads of Angela Merkel’s voters who were the most furious supporters of a united Germany in 1990. it should be a bitter revenge for the old SED-squad which supported for fourty years an undemocratic, totalitaristic and brutal soviet Germany. 3 steps backwards for Germany as should neo-nazis supporters come back to power 50 years later. It should be a disaster for Europe’s first power to have Die Linke ministers in Berlin.
