The results are as follows:-
CDU-CSU - 208 seats
AfD - 152 seats
Socialists - 120 seats
Greens - 85 seats
Linge - 65 seats
The total membership is 630 seats - so a coalition Government requires 315 seats. The UCD and Socialist can forma Coalition Government - but there is another problem - th Bavarian Branch of the CDU - known as CSU has 46 members and they are not going to make such a coalition easier abd will oppose every leftwing policy of the Socialists being a NO-NO = any partnership with the Socialist ill require the Socialists voting with the CDU will require total abolishing of ultra-leftist policies of the Socialists and would lead to a weak government again.
Anything the Greens voe for will be rejected by the CSU and that would damege the latte Party badly and cause a rebellion of the CDU against the CSU and will damage the CSUCDU alliance badky, Germany' GD P hs been going diwn for 3 years running and any continuation of the Ukraine War is going to sink the new Coalition with the CSU goig the sme way as the prent coalition goes, The War feeds inmflation and continuation will destroy the CSU as badly as the present coallition suiffered. The previous Bundestag had he folloing members in the Bundenstag
Socalists . 206 seats - now 145 seats
Greens 118 seats - now 85 seats
FDP 91 seats - now 0 seats
ny coalition with the Greens would do the same damage to the CSU as badly as the present coalition did - with the Socialist did with teh Socialists losing 51 seats and the Free Democats all their 91 seats, Nobody in Germany bar the Greens wants a war against Russia as that will further desroy the German Economy and especially industries more than it has already doe iro the Ukraine War is doing at present,
Merz will have to reach a dea with Trump on the Ukraine Issue and that wil lead to vist Washington by Mez sooner rathr than later,
