Germany's Merkel suffers blow as FDP pulls out of coalition talks
BBC, Nov 20, 2017

Talks on forming a coalition government in Germany have collapsed, leaving Angela Merkel facing her biggest challenge in 12 years as chancellor.

The free-market liberal FDP pulled out after four weeks of talks with Mrs Merkel's CDU/CSU bloc and the Greens.

FDP leader Christian Lindner said there was "no basis of trust" between them.

What happens next is unclear, but Mrs Merkel has met President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who has the power to call elections.

Mrs Merkel said she regretted the collapse, adding she would formally tell the German president that negotiations had failed.

The difficulty forming another Merkel government, is compared to Brexit and Trump's election, eg. "disruptive," to the status quo and the PTB.

And it is over continued immigration.

The degree of politically correct doubletalk in European articles is amazing.

The whole Eurozone is collapsing. Everyone hates Merkel, Macron, Greece is still a mess, Spain is splitting apart, Italy has it's own internal issues. This is what the smart money said would happen when they were pushing this EU. The day of reckoning has come.
