Letter from Berlin: Why Merkel Need Not Fear the Opposition

[sysop]

Last summer, Germany's opposition Social Democrats said they were through blindly following Chancellor Merkel's euro-crisis course. But, on Friday, the party is once again set to support a package of aid measures for Greece. The lack of an alternative does not bode well for the party in next year's elections.

There's no real opposition to Merkel'sCDU/CSU/FDP coalition.

I wonder if the one is going to emerge before the next November election.

Logic suggests that Germany's best bet is to quit the euro and let the countries remaining sort the mess out themselves.

What does a politically inept population know about best bets? led by the nose by party politicians and hanging on Obombers trouser legs they still can not see that Europe's crisis was inevitable. have they heard of the EU's lack of financial probity? Have they done anything about appointed commissioners who only ever worked for their own interests?

Select/groom your own Independent thinkers, who needs politicians to do the job of representing us? are we men or mice?
