How is the red red green coalition holding up, anyway?

They could get a rather slim majority on most polls, but I honestly think Schulz would try for a Red-Green minority with some kind of agreement with the Left if at all possible. While rare, minority governments aren't without precedent federally.

Of course, another grand coalition would be easier to manage in that situation, honestly.

I seriously doubt that Red-Maroon-Green will get a majority in September ...

In the end, Merkel will pull this out again and there'll be a renewed Grand Coalition.

I was just pointing out that some pollls showed the possibility at present, but I agree it's highly improbable.

I think it's almost certain there will be another Grand Coalition and the Union will most likely be the largest party, but the SPD should at least get a healthy boost in their numbers.
