Source: Merkel pushes for 3-way “Jamaica” coalition in Germany

Angela Merkel‘s next government promises to be very different from the last. Policies on migration, climate, tax, and Europe will be strongly contested before  the 3-way “Jamaica” coalition can come in effect in the new year. With a weaker political base in Germany, it will interesting to see whether Germany lets France take over the leadership of the EU. Of course, an effective counter to France would be the UK but will Merkel’s new Germany be bold in foreign policy?
