Bremen election puts the shakes in the national government

The election two days ago in Bremen shows how fragile the national governing coalition is in Germany. The whole lot of hot air might come crashing down. The SPD and the CDU both lost percentages, not enormous, but still setbacks. And the parties which gained were the Greens and the New Left Party.

These results could foretell much. Beck, the head of the SPD, might have to leave his position. I sense that his leadership is rather lackluster, so I would say good riddance. And the CDU losing strength in my eyes is wonderful. They are a woefully inadequate party of the rich with Merkel the leading puppet on a Euro string.
