This means the German government is done for.
This is good because Lidner has been blocking and destroying it from the inside for the past three years, but also bad, because now there is practically no chance for a progressive or at least non reactionary government to form after new elections.
This step would have been right 2,5 years ago.

Oh boy, so much. I don’t want Merz, and I don’t want him to embrace AfD. His “Brandmauer” is a chalk line.
His “Brandmauer” is a bunch of leaking gas canisters on a bed of hay.
He also railed against it, saying it wasn’t something they said, but what the media forced upon them. Which was a total lie of course.
I despise this person so much and I can not understand how they like him. But they are leading in the polls, so it seems I’m in a minority. Yay.
The speech Scholz gave tonight might have been the first time I’ve felt something like respect for him. I still think he’s a wet paper towel of a man and I “suspect” his cum-ex amnesia “might” be faked, but tonight he showed something like a spine. Or balls maybe.
Side news on lemmy, sadly.
But nonetheless, a question: what happens next? This means snap elections, yeah?
Eventually, yes. But we are not quite there yet. In January Scholz will face a vote of no confidence, which he is unlikely to win. At this point all parties may try to find new governing majorities within the current makeup of the Bundestag, our parliament. This is also extremely unlikely to succeed (not with only a few months left in the term anyway). And then a snap election is called
Not that snappy, in March.
