The worldwide anti left avalanche continues in Germany with Angela Merkel picking up huge support! Certainly enough to discard the center left parties of her coalition and get on with much needed free market reform!
“German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday recorded a resounding triumph in her country’s general elections and will be able to leave her coalition partners behind after they suffered their worst parliamentary election result since the Second World War!
It’s a disaster,” said Michael Zirpel, a former SDP [that would be the left] candidate”A lot of our party are still unhappy with our reform programme and if you are not convinced in your own policies, how can you convince any one else? It’s going very difficult in opposition with two left wing parties.””
