Here you see my countries highly intelligent leader: Frau Angela Merkel. Once sponsored by Helmut Kohl after reunification she never governed anything in a leading position: no city, no Bundesland - not even a serious ministerial position. Yep, she studied physics, so she must know what comes up must go down. I honestly can’t wait for the second part of the equation. Some people hailed her as a German Maggie Thatcher, but she does not have the stomach nor the political vision to really turn Germany around.

The grand coalition under her leadership has made VERY little progress over the past year, energy prices are still extremely high (controlled by an industrial electricity monopoly) and all reforms are crawling to a standstill.
