Merkel Wins German Election, Has Majority for Center-Right Government  German Chancellor Angela Merkel secured a second term in office following Sunday's vote: "I am happy to have achieved a great thing." German voters re-elected Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday and allowed her to ditch the center-left Social Democrats from her government and form a coalition with her preferred partner, the pro-business Free Democratic Party, instead, according to reliable projections. German Chancellor Angela Merkel won a second term in Sunday's federal election and will be able to form a government with the pro-business Free Democratic Party (FDP), dumping the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) with whom she has ruled since 2005 in an uneasy coalition, projections showed. She will have a comfortable center-right majority in the Bundestag lower house of parliament with an estimated 323 seats, 15 more than the absolute majority of 308 seats, according to a projection broadcast on ZDF television. Well, thank you, Social-Democrats for running the worst campaign ever with the worst people you could gather and your unwillingness to work with some who were on your side. You tried to be more center-right than the CDU, now you can go and whine all you want. |
