Opinion of Angela Merkel

[Tender Branson]

So let's just stop the whole Euro thing and let every country fend for themselves. It's unfortunate that this project was started at all.

Either that, or actually put Germans or Austrians in charge of finances.

And a few Dutch, Luxembourg and Finnish people as well. Otherwise we are seen as Nazis ...

Still one of the best European leaders, IMO. Unchanged.

BTW, Franzl: How would you vote in NRW on Sunday ? I really can't stand this Röttgen guy.

Either FDP, Linke or Pirates. Sound weird?

FDP or Linke, whoever seems to be closest to 5%. Best and only way to kill Kraft's red-green. I'm in an obstructionist mood in NRW.

If I decided to take things seriously and voted my political conscience: Pirates

Then you must vote Linke. They are closest to 5% (but I guess in the end will get less than that). The FDP should be in, Barney Lindner should follow Kubicki's example. The Pirates might actually not get that much support in NRW, because of their utopic free of charge public transport proposal. Those voters might stay with the SPD and Greens instead, with the Pirates topping out at 7%.
