Another Conservative Elected

Australia, Norway and Now Germany, where the conservative government has been re-elected.
From the New York Daily News:
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives triumphed in Germany’s election Sunday, and could even win the first single-party majority in more than 50 years.
But Merkel’s center-right coalition partners risked ejection from parliament for the first time in post-World War II history.
Depending on what parties end up in parliament, Merkel could also find herself leading a “grand coalition” government with the left-leaning Social Democrats or — less likely — with the environmentalist Greens.
“This is a super result,” said Merkel, Germany’s chancellor since 2005 and the de facto leader of the response to Europe’s debt crisis over the past three years.
Merkel said it was “too early to say exactly how we will proceed” in forming a government.
If her current coalition lacks a majority and the conservatives can’t govern alone, the likeliest outcome is a Merkel-led alliance with the Social Democrats. The two are traditional rivals, but governed Germany together in Merkel’s first term after an inconclusive 2005 election.

Look out in 2014 hen hopefully conservatives will run the whole Congress and kick out the Democrats from most of the power.
