Germany: FDP hatched plan to quit ruling coalition — reports – DW – 11/16/2024
One of three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition discussed plans to pull out two months before the government fell, German media reported. Germany now faces a snap election in February 2025.
www.dw.com
A German coalition including Social Democrats, Greens, and chamber of commerce FDP was not ever stable nor natural bedfellows.
Till the Nazi AfD disappears, no German coalition will be.

The Dem base wants the shutdown to continue because it’s the only time we’ve felt like our electeds were representing us: trying to squeeze the GOP instead of squeezing us to accept concessions; directing their anger at the Republicans instead of at their own voters for wanting them to resist
