All the Irish media have been singing the praises of the chancellorship of Germany’s Angela Merkel. And she certainly has been a leading light in her country, Europe and the world.
Angela Merkel’s CDU had its worst ever result in yesterday's general election.
It is still possible for the CDU to form the next government but most likely the SPD, which had a five per cent vote increase yesterday, will be the main party in the next government, with Olaf Scholz as German chancellor.
The next days will see much horse trading. Had Die Linke received a larger vote it most likely would have been an SPD, Green, Die Linke government. but it now seems it will most likely be an SPD, Green and FDP coalition.
