On Sunday, September 26 the Germans go to the polls to elect a new parliament, which will in turn elect a new chancellor.
This blog is predicting that the current federal finance minister, Olaf Scholz will succeed Angela Merkel.
Scholz is the SPD - Social Democratic Party of Germany - candidate for chancellor. He is a former mayor of Hamburg.
When Scholz was asked during the current campaign by a journalist why he was looking so grim despite growing election momentum for him and his SPD party he replied: “I am applying for the job of chancellor and not that of a circus director.”
Brilliant response.
