If the FDP denies to get into a coalition with the SPD (geesh, what kind of jokers are sitting in the FDP these days?), the SPD has only the Greens and the PDS to form a coalition and Schroeder said, he will not go into a coalition with the PDS. He also said he will not go into a coalition with CDU.
So, darn, what are these guys going to do then?
I guess it will be a SPD/CDU coalition, because Merkel isn't really too much opposed to it, which may be the deciding factor in the end.
What's your thinking right now?
There are too many personal and political interests involved to be able to predict any outcome right now.
Who will become chancellor? - The answer is: I do not know. And I doubt that anybody knows.
It feels so 1920-ish ... Too many votes gone to too many third parties that are lose canons without spine and character.
