Coalition Talks Plan 'C'?

 Well, to get this straight, the SPD is the winner of the election and can form the next government.

Plan A?  It'd be a SPD-Green-FDP coalition.

If plan A fails?  It'd be a SPD-CDU-CSU coalition.

If plan B fails?  The SPD has no way to make up any other government.  The President would turn to the CDU-CSU folks and ask....can you form a government (giving them around 30 days).  They'd go to the Greens-FDP group and lay out a deal. 

If coalition talks Plan 'C' fails?

Based on the Constitution, the President would call for a new election (probably in the timeframe of mid-March).  Odds of this?  I'd say around a one-in-a-thousand chance.  It shouldn't go to that extreme.

Presently, I'd give a 95-percent chance that the SPD will work up a deal with the Greens-FDP situation.
