With every blunder from Chancellor Friedrich Merz, longing for the purported good, old days of Angela Merkel grows in Germany. Many miss her tone, her presence. Has Germany's Queen Mum noticed?
True, but the Greens, Habeck’s party, was not exactly at peak popularity any more at that time. During the previous election cycle it looked like the Greens might eclipse the Social Democrats and the Conservatives. With a stronger overall candidate like Habeck that lead may have resulted in an election victory, but that’s pure speculation on my end tbh.
idk, Merz was a weak opponent, too. He kind of coasted to victory only due to the extreme unpopularity of the Scholz coalition government.
