SPD wants new elections

The Social Democratic SPD wants new elections in Germany.

It is a confirmation that after the election defeat in September, the SPD will in no circumstances again play a second violin in a Great Coalition with the Christian Democrats of Chancellor Merkel.

On Sunday evening the negotiations between the Christian Democrats (CDU / CSU), the FDP and the Greens failed over a new government coalition. The right-wing liberal FDP pulled the plug from the negotiations because the party lost confidence in the end result.

The coalition of CDU / CSU, FDP and Greens was the only real possibility without the SPD on the basis of the distribution of seats after the parliamentary elections of 24 September.
