YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Germany's conservatives may have won the election, but they will have to work with Olaf Scholz's SPD party to form a government, according to the country's ambassador to the UK Miguel Berger.

The Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) took the most votes in the federal election, with Friedrich Merz most likely to be the next chancellor, though they fell short of an overall majority.

A pre-election pact means they cannot form a coalition with the far right, so third placed SPD is predicted to be the favourite choice, despite disagreements on key political issues.
