As various German news sources report it today.....a fair number of the upper-level SPD members want Schulz (their chief) to sit and at least have a chat with Merkel over the idea of a coalition. It's to the level that they might demand he ask for a vote, and it could reach the level where half the members that matter....force the idea.
The issue is....a growing number of folks don't want a second election. I suspect there is some fear over numbers getting worse (more so for the SPD), and the best cards on the table...exist right now.
What the SPD might demand? Merkel to retire? Well....they could suggest this. They could go and suggest a comprehension reform package that their voters would be thrilled about. There are literally dozens of things that could be on the table.
I won't say that the second election is definite yet...but they probably have to decide by Monday morning of next week....for sure.
