The coming German Federal elections, there might be a surprise coming; here are my notes.
- betfair: Chancellor after 2021 election betting – I got there too late, no good odds
- The [German] poll tracker at politico.eu
- Angela Merkel’s heir Armin Laschet faces calls to quit before election, is this the tipping point? – as reported by the Times.
- Olaf Scholz, of the SPD looks like the beneficiary and also is on the right of the SPD despite being the GS under Schröder, or maybe it’s as a result; he’s also a protégé of Wolfgang Schäube, the architect of the humiliation of Greece and the most recent guardian of Germany and the EU obeisance to QMT.
I also looked at this, an article in thelocal.de, in English, which reports the polls and the balance of forces in Germany.
