German chancellor Angela Merkel will not seek re-election in 2021

Well, there ya go.

As most progressive globalists do. Get into office, go on a selfish bent destroying things, then when the heat in the kitchen gets hot? Give up and step out...

Take notice all you progressives over on this side of the pond. Those looking for abolishing things like the Electoral College, look what happens when a system has multiple dominant parties....The CDU fell to 27% support....27%!

Anyway, what do you folks think the path forward for Germany, and the EU will be without Merkel in the seat?

 

is their anyway to impeach her sorry as* in Germany and get her out faster

How long has she been in office?

What has been her lowest ratings?

Three years to retirement?

Don't get in a hissy.

 

to long and past due expiration label shes a rotten egg a globalist floater~

 

I believe she has been in power since 2000,18 years.

 

I love when leftists bring up how the leaders of Germany, France, etc don't like Trump.

Then I get to point out Trump's 50% approval and those leaders approval in the 20%'s.

 

But that is a "hissy" from the super educated and tolerant left!

 

Soon she's gone, but who comes next?
AfD, the new german Nazi party?
I hope not!

 

It has been known for roughly a year that Merkel is extremely likely not to seek re-election in 2021, today was merely the official announcement also triggered by the elections in Bavaria and Hesse. There have been debates behind the curtain for quite some time about potential successors, normal political business. Merkel never had approval rates around 20%. These things are measured in two different ways here: the party vs the person. In mid Oct, the CDU was at 26%, Merkel at 44%.

Btw, Merkel has been in power since 2005 (30 seconds with google).

 

The Right is making a 'victory' out of their earlier loss.

How silly of them: she has been in power a long time and is leaving when she wants.

 

Merkel took herself out with her immigration policies. Don't look for her to be replaced with someone more liberal.

 

1) Merkel as been elected as chancellor in 2005 -- hardly a quitter.

2) She is head of the CDU, the CONSERVATIVE party in Germany -- hardly a progressive.

Both major parties in Germany, the SPD and the CDU, are in big trouble, while the AfD is gaining strength. Nationalism isn't a disease specific to the US.

 

Merkel has been a disaster for Germany, the EU and NATO...her alliance with Putin isn't a surprise.

 

nope, struth, she has done fine

 

She screwed Germany with a horrible immigration policy and this is the result.

 

So you think.

 

Who wants to bet that she retires to her non-Muslim community while the rest of Germany is systematically overrun.

 

Of course, safe behind those walls that don't work.

 

So the people of Germany are finally getting over their WWII guilt and realizing that bringing in millions of hostile immigrants with no money, no skills and no desire to assimilate while raping their wives and daughters might not be a spiffy idea..........good for them!

 

The best hope for Germans in Germany......

 

Remember the last time.
It wasn't good.
Neither for Germany nor other countries in Europe.

 

Her and Hillary were cloned in the same laboratory.

 

Although she's ****ed everything and is walking away leaving the mess to others, I find it hard to criticise her for this.

It's like someone with down syndrome smashing a glass in your living room then walking away. Fair enough they'd probably have failed cleaning it anyway.

 

She lives in an ordinary flat in Berlin, not in a gated community. From time to time you can even meet her in the local supermarket.

Germany has an all time high in working people (more than 45 million), the lowest unemployment rate since the reununification, a large budget surplus and a fast dropping debt.

Merkels balance is far from being perfect but there has been more in this 13 years than the migrant crisis of 2015. Which she admitted as a mistake which should not happen again. SPD, Linke und Grüne are far more pro migrant than Merkels CDU and they have prevented a stricter migrant policy.

The Bundeskanzler is in a rather weak position compared to other prime ministers or presidents. Every German Kanzler had to govern in coalitians (except Adenauer in the 1950s) and very often in opposition to our second chamber in parliament (Bundesrat = governments of the federal states which also are in coalitians).

The German political system is based on consensus and compromises and whoever will follow Merkel will be embedded in this system. Nothing radical is to be expected.

 

Yeah the Germans finally shook off the socialist brainwashing and saw how dangerous and costly it was to allow all those invaders from the Middle East in.
