For those of you don't know who Angela Merkel is, she's the Chancellor of Germany. And Chancellor functions the same as Prime Minister for all intents and purposes. And she's been Chancellor since 2005.

It's because her party (Christian Democratic Union) is so fucking popular, as evidenced by this opinion poll since the 2013 Elections.



And what I'm about to say may shock you guys, but I really hope that Merkel doesn't get any more terms as Chancellor at all. She's honestly kind of just riding on her reputation for apparently keeping Germany stable throughout the whole Eurozone crisis. That's it. She hasn't innovated, or made grand sweeping reforms, or done anything new at all other than maintain the status-quo. She's like Putin in the way that they both earned their reputation by simply riding on the economy. The Eurozone crisis is gonna hit Germany at one point or another, and they're gonna need a leader who can innovate and doesn't simply ride on stability.

Unfortunately, much of the German public has been duped into keeping on voting for the CDU, so Merkel's just gonna win another term in 2017. Lovely. Too bad I'm not a German citizen so I can't vote against her crappy party next Election. Since she's practically her own party by this point.

So I guess you can discuss anything relating to German politics since there hasn't been a thread about Germany politics. And I'll fucking shit myself if Godwin's Law is invoked in this thread.

So?

She hasn't innovated, or made grand sweeping reforms, or done anything new at all other than maintain the status-quo.

How is this a bad thing? Germany doesn't need "grand sweeping reforms" for the sake of it.

The Eurozone crisis is gonna hit Germany at one point or anothe

I highly doubt it. Unless we have another unforeseen economic crash, Germany at the moment is about as bad as its going to get. Unlike Greece and other periphery nations, they didn't have a ridiculous amount of debt when the Recession struck.
