So Merkel has just confirmed that she will be seeking re-election for a fourth time.
Germans, what are her chances of re-election? I know we can tend to live in a bit of a bubble on Sup Forums so please be honest, does she actually have a chance of, God forbid, getting in again?
Reuters claimed a poll of 45% of germans don't want her but 55% do - After what has happened in the last year in respect to polls, I don't give them much credence.
Surely there is no way she can get re-elected? What are her chances?

She'll get reelected, in no small part because she's a nimble negotiator that managed to pinthe failures and scandals of the administration on other people, leaving her with no serious contender.

i'm not exactly up on what's going on over there... i think she has high approval ratings, but apparently they've been declining since the whole immigration thing got started? i think she's still popular though

I would say 50:50
50% chance she wins, 50% someone even worse gets it.
>Reuters claimed a poll of 45% of germans don't want her but 55% do
The only people who like Merkel are those who never voted for her or have absolutely zero idea about what is going on because they are demented.
The thing is, our system doesn't allow for victories like you had it in the UK or US. There is no A or B decision, no way to hijack an established party and use their voter base. The AfD had to start from zero and work their way up from there.
Best case scenario for Germany is: >CDU doesn't manage to get into the coalition, as a result finally purges Merkel & cronies because they have outlived their usefulness >SPD/Grüne/Linke form a coalition, fuck shit up even worse than Merkel did >hopefully collapse soon after, otherwise next elections in 2021 >shit is so fucked up that the AfD gets a massive boost in voters, CDU reorganized by then and enters a coalition with them
We have the advantage that our system is not all-or-nothing like in the US, so we get multiple tries. If Trump had lost there would be no coming back from that, since the establishment would have closed every loophole that allowed outsiders to simply take over their party. On the other hand that means our process is a lot slower and takes more than one election cycle.
Looks like the "best" case scenario is gonna happen. Praise Kek

SPD+Grüne+Linke are pretty unlikely to get enough votes for a majority. And there's absolutely no way we're getting a minority government without the party that got the most votes (which will be CDU).
Face it, there is no way around Merkel.

She will win. The other alternative possible for 2017: a coalition from left-farleft parties. Making Stalinists part of the government. And im sure you all know what the means for immigrations.
There is such a government in Berlin (local) right now and theyre basically turning the City into a sanctuary City. Its impossible to get deported if you live in Berlin etc.
But Germany is just slower than everyone else. It needs to get worse before it gets better. AfD will have a majority by 2021.

Merkel will hang
Luke Gomez
Her party already dropped by 10%, while the SPD only lost 2.5%. Would probably look even worse if you took a look at just the CDU rather than CDU+CSU.
She will end in a similar position to Clinton, with her whole legacy destroyed and her name reviled. She doesn't even have kids who could carry on her family name. Which is probably also the reason she clings so much to the chancellorship. She has absolutely nothing else in her life and still has the delusional hope she can somehow save this train wreck.
Julian Morris
No.
There's no popular opponent since the other major party has been a clown fiesta for years.

First of all, because our whole established political class is nothing but traitors on a similar or even worse level than Merkel.
Additionally, Germany does not elect it leader. We elect the parliament which then assigns all offices. You don't have to win shit, you just need to lose the least.

Could still get a happening that will flip around some numbers. I wouldn't completely rule it out for now. Though if the elections were tomorrow, yeah, she would get into office again.
Adrian Reed
She won't because literally every single German is a cuck including all the ones posting on this board. They will all be voting for her.

There's no way she'll lose. It's to early for the people to make a change yet since most of them are still asleep in their pink happy bubble.
But maybe we can meme the AFD to become a solid opposition.
I'll vote AFD Tyrese.
Austin Sullivan
Kek has spoken. 1488 shadilay brother.
Sebastian Phillips
Merkel can't really lose. The worst thing that could happen to her is her losing the great coalition.
If the AfD gets strong enough and the FDP makes it beyond 5% things could get very thin.
And in that case we'll either get Merkel and the SPD and some junior party - Merkel and two junior parties or no Merkel but a fucking leftist alliance which would be even worse. Parliamentary systems were a mistake.
Jacob Gomez

oh lordy here it goes again
Isaac Taylor
Thanks to first and second vote (first for a direct candidate from your district, second for the party distribution in the parliament) you don't even need to win your own district to get into the parliament. If your party has some slots left from the 2nd vote that are not filled with direct candidates they can still put you in.
It takes fucking massive shifts in voting patterns to change anything about the composition of the parliament, especially with regard to the big parties. They have so many fail-safes to overwrite election results - I mean, we had the AfD go from 0 to >20% in some states and it did literally nothing. In the US that would have been a historic shift that would shape the policies of the nation for decades to come.

You don't understand anything about our election process. There is no populist alternative choice for chancellor. It will always be between CDU and SPD and what you idiots don't understand is that the CDU is our CONSERVATIVE party. Meaning, it can only get worse, never better.
