Germany

I was thinking in starting a pool asking what is worse, the Katrina or a third mandate of Schroeder.



Who do you think will be the prime minister after todays elections?

I will take him to place and her to win and an Treble on the FDP to make up an overall majority.

Looks like the SPD will get around 33,7%

Looks like the CDU will get around 35,8%

Looks like the FDP will get around 10,3%

Grosse Coalition look the Favourite.

Nothing but lowest demominator will get through in the Bundestag

Now now suny, old friend, steady on.

That comments is akin to what Thommo is being reviled for elsewhere. The re-election of Herr Schroder does not equate to the destruction of a city and a thousand dead poor people - no matter how unpalatable you find his policies.

Looks like she has just about thrown away an enormous lead . Only 1% ahead and may struggle to form any coalition - certainly no chance with her preferred allies.

Sometimes I wonder why such an important country as Germany want this inept to rule the country after the performance of this clown in the last 8 years in the goverment.

What is about to happen there is pathetic for Germany but is also very bad for the rest of Europe.

What they need is a strong leader who will brook no interference from inferior nations...

 

[an capall]

Yes. Strong right wing leadership has always worked in Germany.
