The exit polls in Germany show a rather poor showing by the CDU/CSU of Angela Merkel although it will still be the biggest party with 32.5% of the vote. The Socialists are showing 20.2% which is their worst showing in ages, but it leaves them as the number 2 party. In third place is AfD, (Alternative for Germany) which has 13.5%. The Free Democrats and the Greens together have about 19.9% of the vote. That means that Merkel could form a coalition with either the Socialists or with the Free Democrats and Greens.
My guess is that we will see a coalition among the CDU, Free Democrats and Greens. The Socialists seem to be dying off as a junior partner in the government. Also, this set up would keep the AfD from being the main opposition party.
