Four Political Questions

 1.  Will the Linke Party be out as the next fed election (fall 2025) occurs?

Well....if you add current polling numbers....they will likely be at less than 5-percent....meaning no federal seats in the Bundestag.  State-wise?  Yeah, they might be able to hold seats in five states (depending on state elections).

A big deal deal?  I would say that the Greens and SPD hold most of the left-type voters at present.

2.  If Metz (boss at the CDU Party) were stupid and said something to get fired?

It would just trigger the party to hold open debate, and you'd see Spahn likely getting voted as the next boss of the party.  Nothing gained or lost....I'd say.

3.  Does the German gov't need to go and mandate how you heat your home?

Somehow, without admitting this....there's this enormous fear of running out of heating oil and natural gas.  They avoid this discussion, but it appears to be of a huge worry.  

In their mind, going electric is the only avenue left, and hoping this eventual hydrogen idea/technology catches up.  

Selling this to the general public, without saying the fear of a bad severe winter and not enough natural gas?  Yeah, they've done a 1-star job of branding this whole thing, and what you see is a lot of skepticism.

4.  If the AfD Party ever 'won' an election (state or federal).....is there any party willing to partner with them to get up to 50-percent (the coalition rule)?

NO.  There simply isn't such a scenario possible.  You would end up with a second-place winner....trying to partner-up with a 3rd and 4th place winner....to get a fairly weak and watered-down situation.
