If a general election was held in Germany tomorrow, the CDU/CSU party led by Frau Merkel would most likely be able to win power if it again allied itself with the FDP, as Kohl did with Genscher in the 80′s and 90′s. The FDP is a middle-of-the-road party and the CDU is the predominant right wing party in most of Germany with its’ sister party the CSU, which is only in Bavaria. The CSU for instance won almost 50% of the vote in Bavaria in the weekend elections. The main left wing party, the SPD, had a shocker winning just over 20% of the overall vote. This is not dissimilar to the results in the UK for Labour, the Tories and the Liberal Democrats.
