Hessen Election Chatter

We are a couple of days away now, and there is this crazy idea being suggested.

Most believe the CDU (Merkel's party) will win, but it will be in the 32 percent range.  Most now expect both the Greens and SPD to take 20 percent EACH.  The AFD probably will end up with 10 percent, with the rest going to minor parties.

The new premier president?  Well, the Greens and SPD, say that any coalition with either....means their folks get the top position. A shocker for the CDU?  Oh yeah.  The bulk of cabinet positions? Likely going to the CDU.

You can anticipate a lot of frustration directed at Merkel.

If this occurs, it will affect the three state elections next year in some fashion.
