The German Elections for the Bundestag will take place in less than a week, next Sunday.
The various polls produced in different news outlets show consistantly: CDU under 30% falling. AdD over 20% rising SPD ca. 15% falling (worst result ever) Greens ca. 12% falling.
Smaller parties may or may not enter the Parliament with a 5% hurdle. Seemingly, FDP will not make it, with 4%. The Left (former Communists from East Germany) may make it with 7%. The BWS (new party of Sarah Wagenknecht) seems to have a difficult time to get over the 5% hurdle … but her presence in the Bundestag could be decisive.
From today’s declarations, it may be that a coalition of CDU, SPD and Greens is most likely. All parties refused a coalition with the AfD. As long as Greens and SPD are in the government, no changes from the terrible past policies are expected. If CDU will form a coalition with Green/SPD, than CDU will have a hard time to introduce their political goals. From a German perspective, a coalition without the Greens may be best, even if it means to include the AfD – at least for a transition period during which the political, economic and immigration policies can be redirected. As such: Every vote for CDU is a vote for Green. And every vote for SPD is a vote for Green. Nevertheless, the most likely outcome is that the next Cancellor is Friedrich Merz from the CDU. He decides with whom to enter into a coalition.
