Merz’s Predicament: Who Will Benefit as ‘Grand Coalition’ Continues to Falter?

Merz's Predicament: Who Will Benefit as 'Grand Coalition' Continues to Falter?

In a recent analysis, it has been suggested that the SPD appears to be the winner in the coalition agreement despite their relatively low percentage of 15%. The CDU, with their 24 percent, is not in a better position either. If the SPD had left the negotiation table, a new election would have been the only option. However, under the current circumstances, a “great” coalition of the color combination of blue and black or rather black and blue is expected. This would mean that Alice Weidel would win the next election and become the next Chancellor of Germany. Björn Höcke would become the next Interior Minister and Tino Chrupalla would hold the position of Security Advisor. At the helm of the black bloc, Markus Söder would teach Annalena Baerbock, who had previously failed to secure her position, how to be a successful Foreign Minister. The article suggests that, despite all the possibilities surrounding new elections, Friedrich Merz would still not be able to become the Chancellor and Lars Klingbeil could be seen as the young-Siegfried in brünett. The SPD would be the cream on the cake, with the Ministry of Defense and Jörg Kukies representing the Wall Street in two crucial positions. The article concludes by questioning what more needs to happen in public for the “masses” to understand the workings of liberal democracy and the concept of “people’s sovereignty.
