From what I recall of the 2005 "snap" elections (which took a few months to arrange) that isn't a straightforward decision for the Chancellor alone. Would Steinmeier and the Constitutional Court both swallow it this time? I believe you are correct. Although this is also what keeps it stable (well, normally). |

There are strong rumours that Scholz is going to pull the plug on the coalition and try for early elections. He went to an investment summit the other day and pointedly invited neither the economy minister (Green) or finance minister (FDP). ”Olaf Scholz: Germany’s next finance minister” |

It will depend probably also on the internals of TheGreens, whether he will finally do so or not.

The bloke doesn't get it right a lot of the time, but at least he's trying to make things happen and challenge the country to get its act together. Compare and contrast to his predecessor, with her endlessly-shifting positions, commitment to stagnation in the name of stability, and the coddling of an electorate that wanted to shut out the modern world. |

Latest polling this weekend:
Union 32 per cent
SPD 16
Green 10
AfD 18
BSW 8
FDP 4
Die Linke 4
One poll for Bavaria has the CSU on 42 per cent. That's the highest figure since 2017.

CSU always win Bavaria though, it's a stronghold of theirs. I would see the more interesting figures and forecasts being NRW and the likes of Berlin and the former GDR bloc which is more-susceptible to change. |

They do always win Bavaria but they had been polling as low as 27 within the last few years, and looked like they were losing masses of support to the Freie Wähler and AfD. |
