Somehow quite stupid - neither here nor there. And Stoiber even threatens to go to Berlin - who wants that? Well, at least the negotiations about possible coalitions could become amusing:
- Stoiber is unwanted, but the Union insists
- Schröder wants to remain Chancellor, no matter what - but he doesn't have the strongest faction
- The Greens want to hold on to power, but will they with the Black party?
- Traffic light coalition with and without a broken red light the FDP does not want - but only in a traffic light coalition does the FDP have a chance of participation
- Red-Red-Green would be the logical consequence, but Schröder and Lafontaine - that won't work. And SPD+PDS - that won't work either.
Actually, all politicians have expressed so many exclusions about what wouldn't work that we can't get a government - snap elections would be a solution
Since there were only election winners, one could also summarize: "we are chancellor"
