Fragile coalition crumbles after days of crisis talks, with elections expected as soon as March, six months ahead of schedule.
The coalition had been at odds for a while, with serious strains on the budget for 2025 and a disappointing performance by the German economy eliciting increasingly different suggestions on how to face and solve the problems.
Representatives of the three parties making up Germany's center-left government — the Social Democrats (SPD), neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP) and Greens — met for a crisis meeting on Wednesday evening. It lasted only two hours.
The coalition partners no longer had much to say to each other. Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) proposed early elections, Chancellor Olaf Scholz refused and dismissed Lindner from office. Scholz addressed the media at 9.15 pm.
This was the day on which the first three-party alliance in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany spiraled out of control and could no longer stabilize itself.
Many coalition lawmakers had hoped that in the aftermath of Donald Trump securing the US presidency once more, internal strife could be put aside to focus on the geopolitical challenges ahead.
SPD leader Lars Klingbeil told German public broadcaster ARD in the morning: "I hope that everyone will now throw party tactics overboard, that everyone will look each other in the eye in the coalition committee this evening and realise once again what responsibility they now bear".
Alas, it was not to be.
Political analyst Thu Nguyen, Deputy Director at the Berlin based think
tank Jacques Delors Centre commented on social media: "Trump‘s election did not keep the German government from collapsing for even one day. Not sure this bodes well for those hopeful that it might shock the EU into more common action."
The downfall, or slow motion train wreck as some might describe it, began on November 15, 2023, when the Federal Constitutional Court declared parts of the government's budget policy unconstitutional. It left the coalition ithout a viable financial plan, and exposed the rifts between its partners.
However, the three parties' basic political convictions did not fit together in the first place. The SPD and Greens are essentially left-wing parties that believe in a strong state and need a lot of money for social policy and climate protection.
The economically liberal FDP is of the opposite opinion: It believes in a lean state that should only intervene in exceptional cases and exercise financial restraint. During the election campaign, the party promised to balance the budget and comply with the debt brake enshrined in Germany's constitution.
Since Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel left office Germany has lurched from one disaster to another mostly due the the departed Chencellor's legacy policies, Net Zero and Open Borders. It was inevitable this dysfunctional coalition would collapse in a shambolic craptangle sooner rather than later.
Whilst in UK Starmer thinks he's safe he has another think coming as he haas never really won the election, his stonking majority it was gifted to him by the ineptitude of the Tries and the apathy of voters, but in just over 100 days he has managed to crystalise the British public against him and his gang of freeloading imbeciles. The omnishambles budget has just about undone Labour.
The can expect total opposition from the public to
everyone of their madcap schemes; the protests start with a farmer's rebellion on 19th November in
London. Take a golf umbrella, there may be showers of farmyard slurry.

And the case that the 50 million climate refugees that were predicted tTo descend on the west, having been displaced by rising sea levels are apparently all hiding under Harry Potter's Cloak of Invisibility is ignored.

It is worth noting that Starmer’s statement about this not being a time for “politics” and about respect for the grieving relatives of the victims instead of etc. etc. were virtually identical to statements made (in German) by the mayor of Nürtingen, a town of about 50,000 in southern Germany (Baden-Würrtemberg), when the body of a murdered woman was discovered on 27th of October. She was a language teacher for ‘refugees’ and an Iranian man she had been teaching was arrested as prime suspect.
Though possible that the guy simply copied statements made by Starmer in uly but given the many parallells (down to the wording) between statements by English and German authorities during the so-called Pandemic, we have good grounds to suspect that there’s some central coordination behind government responses to events endangering woke narratives. i.e, that – somewhere – there’s a set of PR professionals coming up with canned responses expected to ‘work’ in face of such occurences which are then handed down to the participating governments and other public institutions.
The whole thing stinks.
