Looks like a perfect storm of a terrible election result where nobody wins and the vile AfD have taken a big leap forwards: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-41094785
I'm not a big follower of German politics, from what I know I'd almost certainly vote FDP and glad that they've back above the threshold. But I don't see a stable government emerging from this - even a Grand Coalition would only just get a majority and there seems to be little appetite for that, while the only other viable coalition the so-called "Jamaica Coalition" (CDU/CSU, with FDP and Greens) seems like it would be a tad implausible under normal circumstances too but the rise of the AfD may force unlikely partners to work together I guess. I was hoping the FDP would get enough to carry the CDU over the line by themselves but the results are nowhere near that.
