German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s fragile grip on power became even weaker on Monday when a majority of the country’s 733 lawmakers withdrew their confidence in him, paving the way for an early election that he’s widely expected to lose.

Coalition with leftists or team up with AfD, what will they choose to maintain power?

The center right will most likely team up with the center left once again.

Let's hope so, the only other potential outcome is a center right far right coalition, since our leftist parties are pretty much as dead as in the united states. They exist on paper, but even the most "radical" ones are still capitalist.

A coalition with the Greens could happen too. But there's zero chance of a coalition between CDU and AfD in this election. Not so sure about the one after though.

There was also zero chance that Trump would get elected, but here we are and he gets a second term.
