over a minority government.
Minority government does suit her style - her approach is to keep as many options open as possible to give her the best chance of a positive outcome...that approach can't work when you are having to wheel and deal on every minutia.
I see their PM is indeed holding cross party talks (as I mentioned yesterday) to seek an approach where a coalition can be formed.
As I said yesterday though, no matter what the outcome, this is Merkels final hurrah. Her border policy of a little while ago is coming back to haunt her, which is a real shame. Her background and history which have shaped her views on refugees and asylum seekers (and therefore policy) is a positive one but it appears this is no longer shared among the wider populous.
Be interesting to see how things pan out over the next couple of weeks. |  |

Someone in the CDU just needs to grow a pair and replace her as leader of the party.
Don't get me wrong she's been a good chancellor but like so many other long-serving politicians she just can't seem to grasp when her time is up. [Post edited 21 Nov 2017 13:17]

Part of the issue is that there is a lack of decent options to replace her. | |
