Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel is to relinquish control of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in December, sources have claimed, after yet another humiliating performance in a regional election Sunday.

Merkel makes it official
Speaking at a press conference in Berlin Monday afternoon, German Chancellor Angela Merkel made official the rumours that had been swilling over the course of the morning by announcing she would not be seeking another term as leader of the CDU party, but that she intended to remain leader of Germany until 2021 — a shrewd move that some observers have noted would preclude a coup against her in the next three years.

Yep.

Worst performance by BOTH the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats since the late 1940s.

A few months ago, first time a Chancellor didn't get their Parliamentary Leadership pick since about the 1970s. Another person was chosen when Parliament voted.

The Hesse Election was the nail in the coffin. There's a CDU party leadership nomination coming up in December, it's usually a formality, but since she's overseen such a collapse in vote share - she only rules due to a coalition with the Social Democrats, has no majority - she probably realized she'd be de-selected anyway.

Die Linke - the German Left - actually endorsed Immigrant Limits and outflanked both the CDU and SD! The first Leftist party to steal a march using nationalism and populism!
