  1. zero emissions but nuclear waste; germany lacks a final depot for the latter

  2. SPD was on the fence in the previous election not to bond with the Union, but finally ended in a coalition with them. i wonder if SPD keeps their own promise this year and deny the call. CDU/CSU may finish as largest faction still, but as usual far below a majority.

  4. only as part of coalition and as the minor part and it is still difficult; red+green may lack the numbers still. Annalena might decide to lure CDU into coalition and CDU might even bite out of sheer self preservation; otherwise they are out of power and in opposition. a bitter choice, whatever they decide.

  6. it is worth noting that FDP+Grüne hold more seats than their wannabe-partners SPD or Union; a good reason why those yellow-greens talk first to each other. seems they get along pretty well, if their selfies from their talks mean something. ;) for jamaica: grüne will have to ask their members for any ok and there is just no snowball's chance in hell they will approve CDU. CDU also cannot bend themselves backward enough to get approval from their base. fat chance jamaica is dead in its tracks already.

  11. basically this; the microstates used the currency of their bigger neighbours once and since all of the major players switched to euro the microstates followed. for something important: the outlying territories of France usually use Euro. St. Barth, Guadeloupe, Martinique etc.
