Germany's Election Outcome

The Left Is Divided But Won

If you add up the election results for the three leftists parties of Germany, i.e. SPD, Die Linke, and Greens, they had a combined vote of 42.7%, while the conservative party (CDU)/CSU  received only  41.5%.

The challenger of chancellor Merkel remained ineffective and pale during the entire election campaign.

The Liberal Party Deserved To Be Voted Out

The German voters were tired of a liberal party, i.e. Freie Demokratische Partei (FDP), that now for over 20 years has a history of mediocre leadership. It is unbelievable that this important political party does not have more capable and competent top politicians than Guido Westerwelle, Roesler, or Bruederle.

Germany has too many so called Berufspolitiker (career politicians) that do not accomplish anything else in their lifetime but to play party politics like e.g. Mr. Westerwelle.

One can only hope that this party finally learnt the lesson. It would be of great benefit for Germany.
