20. Welcome to Germany

Because of exactly this, the Weimarer Republik fell apart, and guess who became Reichskanzler in 1933 with 43% of the vote. In 2 weeks, Germany goes to the polls to elect the parliament that will choose Merkel’s successor.

When the results are announced, some party HQs will uncork the champagne and celebrate if they get all of 10% of the vote. The new government will be a coalition of at least two, and possibly three parties. At least six of them will win seats in the Bundestag (Parliament). In all likelihood, the coalition will be an unwieldy mess of parties having little in common, with either incompetent bureaucrats or self-promoting ideologues, none of whom have any experience out there in the real world, running things.
