German Television: Merkel, these are her options for coalitions

Analyses from German ZDF television predict that only a broad coalition that calls the “Grand Coalion”, between the CSU and the SPD, or another coalition calling it “the Jamaican Ch”, between the CRU, The FDP and the greens could provide sufficient numbers in Bundestag to form the new Government.

Since Martin Schulz, the leader of the SP, has made it clear that he does not enter a coalition with Merkel's CDU, then it seems that the CDU with the Liberals and the Greens can find the common language for a future coalition in Germany, writes Periscope.

According to ZDF, all other combinations -- both or three parties -- would fail to reach a majority. /Periscopi/
