Ominously, Merkel's party, the Christian DP, blown away in the Berlin elections. Merkel's political future called into question again. The German leader already uttering that she wished she could 'turn back the clock' and change some of the decisions she made that have now affected her popularity. She'd underestimated the mood of the German people and, paradoxically, a genuine compassion for the plight of fellow human beings could be a huge factor in ending her outstanding political career. Be afraid if the centre ground of German politics is overwhelmed by the moderate right, allied to the hard right political parties!
