An Important Election: Angela Merkel; Will she be re-elected? (Yes) … PS The Running Begins

In a note on how small the world has become, September 22, 2013 has been marked on our calendars for some time.

Angela Merkel For Chancellor

Our friend Axel Merk who is German born with ties and family still there, believes a Merkel re-election is very probable. While not an authority on the subject we hope Axel is correct. Our interest is from a continuity standpoint as Germany is the major anchor of Europe and a disruption at this point would be…well Disruptive!

Election Stats

The election will determine the 598 (or more, if overhangs are produced) members of the 18th Bundestag, the main federal legislative house of Germany.

As the election comes to fruition this weekend, we suspect there will be more public commentary, given the importance.

Have a Great Friday and a Wonderful Weekend!
