Iron lady comes, iron lady leaves

It´s quite ironic that the new leader of Germmany, Angela Merkel, enters her journey as Germany´s first Kanzlerin , exactly 15 years on the day after the departure of Margeret Thatcher. Die grosse koalition, the second time in modern post world war II history after the 1966-1969 Kiesinger government, was in my view the worst possible scenario. The 143 page document regulating the relationship and issues within the government does not bode well. It will probably only increase the apathy for politics among the German public. The unspoken question of the day is probably , for how long will the forced marriage last?
