The good news keeps rolling n!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i


ANGELA Merkel’s premiership is hanging by a thread as hundreds of angry Germans prepare to take to the streets once again to call for the German Chancellor’s resignation.

Merkel’s popularity has taken a battering after her open door policy saw more than one million African and Middle Eastern refugees arrive in Germany in 2015.

The backlash was intense - and every time a migrant committed a crime - calls for her resignation grew louder.

A new poll found ratings for her coalition have dropped to record lows.

Approval for Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and sister party Bavaria’s Christian Social Union (CSU) has plunged to its lowest level since 2006, according to an Emnid poll.

Support for Ms Merkel’s coalition dropped to just 29 per cent, down from 33 per cent in last September’s election.

Mrs Merkel's conservatives have been embroiled in an internal dispute over whether to turn back migrants at the German border who have registered elsewhere in the European Union.

The issue divided longtime conservative allies and posed the most serious challenge yet to Mrs Merkel's leadership in Germany.
