The news is reporting this as unprecedented. I wonder if this has to do with Trump since he affected Australia and Canada too.

The world hates Trump and this is the ripple effect.

Trump will single-handedly tilt the world’s governments left

This wasn’t a vote by the German people—it was a vote by German legislators.

He’ll get elected on the next round, but will need to do some more bargaining behind the scenes.

Fred Merz is the chancellor we need!

He won in the second round, but it doesn't bode well for the agenda they intend to pass going forward. Sucks, because they finally got rid of their fiscal rule and most were expecting an expansive Germany for the next decade or so.
