Friedrich Merz revealed he had invited Benjamin Netanyahu to visit and would find a way for Netanyahu to visit Germany without being arrested.

I should have known it would take less than a day for this new world leader to dash my hope for him.
He is not leading anything at the moment. His party won the most votes, but is far from having 50% + 1 seat. Merz depends on forming a coalition, and he basically alienated everyone.
I’m living in Germany. At the moment, the country is seeking stability after the FDP crashed the government, so a coalition with SPD seems to be very realistic. The far right party on rank 2 is hated by everyone and other coalitions required 3 parties…
Yeah the only option would be if SPD declares that they won’t do a coalition if Merz becomes chancellor. But 1) that would require SPD to have some guts, which they don’t have and 2) in that case the CDU would likely go for a minority government and work with AfD to push their cruel proposals.
So yeah, lile you say, realistically the GroKo is pretty much guaranteed.
