So she tried to form a coalition with pro-business libertarians and greens and the former pulled out so I guess there might be new elections? Any Germanons awake?
But after weeks of contentious negotiations over asylum, tax and environmental policies, the Free Democrats unexpectedly pulled out just before midnight Sunday, leaving Merkel with few options — none of them attractive.
One is to form a minority government, perhaps with the Greens. But that has never been attempted at the federal level in Germany. Another is for Merkel to convince her partners from the last government, the center-left Social Democrats, to join her in another “grand coalition” between Germany’s two biggest parties.
But the Social Democrats have repeatedly ruled out that possibility, and did so again Sunday night. The only other option for Germany would be new elections. Merkel was due to inform German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of the failure of the talks later on Monday, and he has the power to call a fresh vote.
The possibility of a new election that could open the way to further gains for the far-right Alternative for Democracy Party (AfD) — and further unsettle the politics of a country that has been Europe’s rock of stability — sent the euro sliding in early trading.
well it's half past 11am right now, so a couple of us should be at work
FDP bitchedot and told the german media 11 hours ago, that they won't manage to negotiate with the other parties
hopefully it turns into re elections. it would start a bandwagon effect, which means more votes for tight wing parties
Jason James
Why not ally with the afd? They share a lot of positions.
Kevin Robinson
What are the chances the lesbian leader of AfD will get gay married? I mean is she gonna hold out and refuse to marry just for her party?
Owen Garcia
i made some memes a couple of months ago
Connor Sanders

David Cook
Good news if true.
Kevin Russell
What's the name of that qt female leftist? Also plz answer as to whether you would be upset or consider it likely for Alice Weidel to marry now that it is legal.
Charles Gray
it is

>Ja, es ist richtig, dass hier historisch sehr unterschiedliche Welten aufeinanderprallten. Aber in einer Welt der Trumps, der Erdoğans und der Putins hätte es ein gemeinsames Band geben können, ja geben müssen: für ein liberales, wirtschaftlich vernünftiges und den Planeten im Blick habendes Deutschland.
even our lefty media is on breakdown, they basicly say, that we had to form a strong bond against national socialism and (trump, erdogan, putin) but failed in doing so.
Ryder Edwards
i really do hope, that you don't mean sarah wagenknecht
>upset or consider it likely
women shouldn't be allowed in politic discussions.
Dylan Adams
Yeah that one.
Ok so you are just gonna be dogmatic and not practically engage with my question. No wonder your country is doomed. Ideologues at every turn on every side.
Jace Foster
We get re-elections, AfD will win. Screencap this.
Jace Evans
You were close, Arab bro
Adrian Clark
So was this guy.
James Bell
Green + SPD coalition when?
Joshua Carter
What are the chances of AfD + FDP + CDU coalition in actual reality? Wud b glorious if real.
Gavin Mitchell
uh sweetie CDU would NEVER get anywhere near AfD bigots.
Mason Young
Please tell me it's true
fucking merkel and eu comission
Kayden Harris
The chance of AfD being anything than opposition is ZERO.
Leo Collins
Why though?
Cameron Gonzalez
Will he return to us soon?
Thomas Thompson
All other parties declared they will never work together with them.
Nathaniel Robinson

Joshua Hill
We're fast approaching full Weimar, so the chances keep getting better and better.
Liam Davis
Media has worked hard to make AfD look as the new nazi party ever since it's founding (as well as incompetent, etc). The party was also directly named after one of Merkel's statements: "there is no alternative.". As long as Merkel isn't gone they can never be considered a partner for anyone else because anyone who wants a scrap of power has to go through Merkel (or had to in the past, we might be seeing the beginning of her end right now).
And even that aside most other parties have little to nothing in common with AfD positions. SPD (social democrats), greens and Die Linke (commie party formed from the remnants of the former GDR government and unhappy social democrats from west Germany) are completely opposed to anything the AfD wants. That effectively only leaves CDU and FDP as possible partners for the AfD. And that is yet unlikely as fuck in the foreseeable future.
William Kelly
thats what our mainstream parties said about PVV and look at them now, shaky, unsteady and they will lose a load of votes to PVV and most importantly Forum for Democracy that is threading on the path opened by the PVV. Next election /ourguys/ will enter coalition.
James Clark
This feels like DDR end times.
Jace Robinson
So what if Merkel gives refugees right to vote?
Jaxon Gomez
She can't
Nolan Sanders
Why not? She will figure out a way to excuse them like giving them citizenship after 2 years or so...didnt Hillary want that for Mexicans?
Isaac Foster
They will all vote for the green party because they will promise them unlimited gibs, immediate citizenship, invitation for anyone related to them, their pets, neighbours, friends, etc.. You get the idea.
Merkel was competing hard in the same field but I think she would lose out to the greens.
Aaron Martin
What possible differences could they have? They'll all political correct mudslime loving white people hating Weimarians.
Zachary Nelson
If she tries that, other immigrants with citizenship will get rid of her.
Jackson Lopez
Down with the Kaizerin
Asher Hill
Huh,aight thanks. Well Greens are progressives...cant she get them on LGBT stuff?
Ethan Long
...
Jaxon Ramirez
Of course the greens are totally contradicting themselves at every possible chance. But most refugees are here for the gibs says common sense. So they should still vote for the greens despite their LGBT stuff. Oh and they're also absolutely pro-muslim. So another attraction for the refugees.
Ayden Kelly
Don't forget, Germany already has a large immigrant population, who worked hard for gaining citizenship and voting rights, sometimes over the course of decades. These people have something to lose and are most likely to intervene, if the government pulls a Hillary fast track for random Africans, because it makes their life's work entirely worthless.
Matthew Williams
Save us from sharing the future automation gibs with rapefugees now!
Xavier Russell
If you are using that flag, you are a faggot, your whole identity revolves around fucking other man, you are no better than trannies.
Hudson Cox
I still don't understand how was this possible, if it was my kid, I wouldn't care about the police or anyone trying to stop me.
Henry Perry
Most trannies are straight.
Camden Nguyen
Trannies are mentally ill, so are fags that think liking men is anything more than a fetish.
Lincoln Young
Liking men is how I am programmed. Bi females have more kids than straight females.
Benjamin Kelly
You're all going to hang on the day of the rope you filthy degenerate.
Hunter Hughes
>Liking men is how I am programmed. So keep it to yourself, no one else broadcast their fetishes besides fags and furries. >Bi females have more kids than straight females. How is this even relevant?
Noah Powell
I don't have to live in the closet for your convenience where I live.
Because the argument that gays don't have kids fail if you apply it to women.
Daniel Gomez
>I have the right rub my fetish in everyone's faces, and if they don't like it they are bigots. Need any more proofs that fags are mentally ill?
Parker White
>Germany on Verge of New Elections nothing of value would be lost I'd rather see germany fall twice than have the rest of europe continue on this same path, though i'm not saying the rest of us are not to blame for allowing such stupidity
Jason Miller
Keep screaming on the internet. All the most desirable countries to live in have gay marriage now. Sorry you can't afford them.
Adam Foster
AfD is anything but sure as hell not far right. They're frauds. Ex-bankers with a runner up candidate that is openly lesbian and advocates for fag marriage (or better: advocated, because it is now legal). They are neither conservative nor are the traditional. They tricked a ton of people with an anti-refugee resentment and that's about it. They even want to weaken the Church. Checkmate liberals ! .. oh ... wait ..
Josiah Torres

Cooper Murphy
FAGS ARE FAGGOTY !!! CLEANSE WITH FIRE.
Juan Campbell
Look you fag, dont you know anything? The afd is literally hitler. No party wants to be even remotely associated with them. They are personas non grata. Nobody likes them nobody wants to work with them. They made that very clear. And if they did, they'd lose all credibility. It's like asking hillary to be trump's vp.
Only way for afd to govern is to get 50%+
Jaxon Peterson
I give it five years before you're reviled for rampant AIDS in the gay community and the push to "stop the stigma" polluting enough of the blood supply with HIV to cause a panic.
Jack Johnson
Don't you mean you get beaten to pulp if you leave your quarantine zone?
Carson Bell
lol
Aiden Butler
HIV is declining in every developed country.
David Sullivan
Reddit says this is bad news.
This is good news, right?
Carson Hill
if there will be reelections were gonna see a lot of this kind of news the next weeks
As a whole. The gay community is still crippled with it thanks to HIV-positive faggots intentionally having unprotected sex with uninfected people. Good luck with that.
Hunter Anderson
We Italy now!
Wyatt Reyes
this. it has no charismatic leaders and a ridiculuos program. the only true conservative party is the csu and I'm going to vote for them if there are reelections
William Davis
Where does plebbit say that? Give me a link, I want to laugh at them.
Andrew Richardson
Not exactly crippled. About 4.5% of us have it which is a lot, but not most.
Oliver Adams
But doesn't that help Merkel again? why can't you take the AfD pill? The times are very dark.
Ryder Jones
because it will destabilize Germany and consequently Europe. I can't elect a troll party just to punish Merkel. Besides, the CSU is a good instrument to control Merkel
Gavin Wright
There is no """(((AfD-pill)))""". Merkel is literally and sadly the best we have. Or what do you want else ? Even worse opportunists from the AfD that basically lied to people all the way ? Or the retards from Grüne or the commie fags ? Or the LARP nazis ? It is sad and hard to admit, but our situation is like with Putin in Russia. Far from being optimal and best, but the best we have right now.
Eli Allen
>opportunists from the AfD I will run with these
Benjamin Lopez
I can only implore everyone not to vote for the AfD... and I'm right winged and known as 'the nazi' in my circle of friends. the AfD is a protest party, if they gain power they will get nothing done. it's a bunch of losers that can talk well but have no skills whatsoever, although they may be right in a lot of points. just elect the csu. it's a party with history and experience in governing and it's as right winged as you can get right now with a serious party.
Jaxon Jackson
>just elect the csu >"just vote for the sister party of who started the whole refugee crysis and literally invited millions of rapists, terrorists and economical refugees from the middle east and north Africa in our country"
Nah.
Hunter Bailey
Merkel has exactly the same policies as the Greens. She doesn't want to have any limit for migration and has no problem with a muslim majority in the future.

the csu opposed Merkel's decisions from the beginning. if the csu didn't exist we had the Jamaica coalition right know with family members of refugees invading us.
David Sanchez
the csu bent over and sold out you retard.
Jayden Wright
they are no saints. still the best we have. people outside Bavaria should vote FDP, everyone in Bavaria CSU. that would be just great
William Parker
how many shekels do you get for posting this crap?
Charles Adams
AfD is literally the only party that will perhaps possibly maybe do something about your predicament. Surely you are some manner of shill, you can't possibly be so blind.
Julian Reed
I would probably consider FDP a lot in Germany. This dude has done something historical in blowing Merkel out today. He deserves to be rewarded.
Blake Perry
they will do nothing. they will talk shit and get nothing done. they are a bunch of losers. Sure, they are right in what they say, but so are the NEETS that gather here on Sup Forums. Look at your fine president, what did he do so far?
Jack Martin
this, you get it. what a shame that you can't vote here
Jack James
I have no idea what I really would do. But I just have to respect that he had the balls to shut it down. Merkel needed a blow like this.
Christopher Ramirez
Border crossing are way down, Latin American immigration in general is way down, deportations are way up. Those are nice things. Also the stock market is booming and he trolls the media all day. The right wing is gaining ground like mad over here, no one is afraid of SJWs anymore. You can't even have a gun or say nigger lol.
Dylan Wright
those are effects of a general shift in your society. but from all the things he promised he got virtually nothing done so far
William Cooper
Because he is fighting a secret war against old shadow cabals that have plagued the world since centuries.
Colton Peterson
What's he going to do, dissolve Congress? Give us shit if we fail in 2018, but the current state of the legislative branch is not Trump's fault.
ok, maybe you're right. but the AfD has noone as charismatic as Trump. one of their leaders is an actual lesbian. the other one is an old, angry, dirty man. I don't want to be governed by those kind of people
Thomas Cook
Stop shilling. It's always the same "OMG it doesn't make a difference, everybody is THE JEWS" bullshit. Even IF you were right, what is the alternative? Actually legitimizing the destruction of our nation by voting for the proven and outright traitors? Or daydreaming about LE UPRISING that will not happen as long as people see the established parties gaining a lot of support? The AfD is necessary for a way out of this. Stop shilling otherwise, you traitor.
Gabriel Wright
So many bluepills in this thread, I'm inclined to believe they are subte trolls.
Benjamin Garcia
no. voting for csu and where not possible for fdp. the AfD is not 'dangerous' like the NSDAP, but they are losers. they will destroy first Germany and then Europe and make all of us insignificant. They have no governing experience. They are pedophiles, gays and lesbians in disguise. They are against an open Europe which is the biggest accomplishment of post war politics. Maybe you see them as a non-German only as 'the right-winged party', but they are a bad choice
Daniel Cooper
>They are against an open Europe which is the biggest accomplishment of post war politics. Looks like now that we are getting re-elections they have ramped up the funding again, interesting.
Dominic Gutierrez
I'm obviously talking about a Europe open to itself, not to Africa and the Middle East
Samuel Wilson
As long as they don't have the majority or even make it into a coalition all of those "fears" are unwarranted. This is about influencing decisions in the government, not actually making them, you know, the job of an opposition.
Lincoln Barnes
>Why not? Because she isn't chancellor at the moment.
William Cook
if I'm voting for a party I want to see them governing, otherwise I vote someone else
