Then the SPD chose Martin Schultz. And it was over.

That's far from the truth though!

The SPD skyrocketed in polls after the SPD chose Martin Schulz. Some polls even saw them ahead of the Union parties for a week or so.

Then, Schulz did some campaigning and things quickly went downhill from there.

I didn't like his Russia stance. Only the Greens and the CDU were in favour of keeping up sanctions against Russia, so I voted for the greens. Great coincidence, since I want us to do a lot more against climate change as well.
