the election in Germany

• I think "Schwarz-Gelb" would not be that good for Germany, especially because of their nuclear atom policy.
• Maybe it's going to be a "Große Koalition" again.
• No matter who is going to win this election - he will have to deal with a lot of problems mainly because of the economyic crisis, I suppose.
