Is a 'Jamaica' coalition possible? The Greens, the FDP, and the struggle to become Germany's third political force

摘要

Although Angela Merkel's CDU/CSU has a strong lead in opinion polls, it is still far from clear what kind of coalition will take power after Sunday's German election. Julian Göpffarth assesses the campaigns run by two potential junior partners in the next coalition, the Greens and the liberal FDP, as well as the likelihood of a so called 'Jamaica coalition' between the CDU/CSU, Greens and FDP being formed.
