2013 Elections in Germany

Wait, do southern Germans not go on vacation during the summer?

Do not take this seriously. But this is a rumour reported over there (the parties have a 'partial result' of the exit poll by now, so it's not necessarily an invention. Though, of course, your money should be on it being one.)

Union 41 #SPD 26 #FDP 4,8 #AFD 5 #Grüne 10 #Linke 9

That would be a hilarious result.

SPD, Greens and the Left should go for a hilariously unworkable bare majority coalition. It's not like they can fall much lower at this point.

Merkel should intentionally sabotage the grand coalition negotiations so that another election has to be held. Based on her personal popularity and the closeness of this result, I have to assume she'd gain enough seats in a redo election to have a majority.
