uncharted territory

Wow SPD managed to negotiate from Merkel the foreign, finance and social ministries. If the party members agree this could mean a SPD finance minister could change Germany's euro policy. CSU get interior. CDU lost almost all important minister jobs aside from the chancellorship

Double WOW. Schulz gives up SPD chair and could become foreign minister

Turns out Schulz and Ange aren't as dumb as everyone thought

SPD leads more centrist populist, agenda as panacea to AfD

Ange stays as uber-boss

De Maiziere OUT Wow

Kevin Kühnert said he is very angry about "this theater" of today

Merkel is willing to compromise for the good of her country (and her self), she again shows that she is the adult leader of the free world.

I'm more surprised there is a Gesundheit ministry.

Martin Schulz is done

White/Blue_since1860 · Feb 9, 2018

You couldnt make this shit up. Just when Angie is facing a revolt from within her own party cause she pretty much lost the negotiations SPD managed to turn this around in one day knifing their party chair and to be foreign minister out of office.

Martin Schulz really has to go

Interesting Olaf Scholz gets the big move up. He was popular as Hamburg mayor despite the G20 farce

White/Blue_since1860 · Feb 12, 2018

SPD 16.5
AfD 15.0

Schulz finally goes

My profound apology! I'd advise you get that culture to the Lab ASAP. It could be fatal. The antidote, unfortunately, can only be found in the Northeast. TMNV...[This Mileage Never Varies]

The other worrisome thing is that die Linke is closing in on SPD.

ceezmad · Feb 19, 2018

Looks like the CDU are the biggest winners and the FDP the biggest loosers so far.

FDP are idiots - they had their chance to deliver on the vote they achieved and blew it by being poseurs

CDU are pretty much within the margin for error on their polling day vote

I had a chance to speak with some acquittances who are core Hamburg SDP vote and they are all very upset with the party right now

My takeaway is that Scholz exit needed to come sooner and they are very disappointed in SDP's lack of focus on key issues centre left voters care about like jobs, housing, education etc

Not been following this, bu does Angie get to keep the top job after all?

White/Blue_since1860 · Feb 21, 2018

450k SPD party members have a party vote on the question if the party should agree to the coalition contract. 4th of March we will get the results. In case they say "no" we will get new elections and Angie will be gone. Odds are 50-50.

Imagine labour party members voting on the question if May should stay in office
