Everybody wins?

Always interesting to watch politicians right after the elections. Not that the information they provide in interviews and speeches is very helpful; it is the big picture that makes it worthwhile to observe. Especially today, after the "Bundestagswahl".

Today, almost everybody won, judging from the speeches of the key players. The CDU/CSU for becoming the biggest, the SPD for not loosing so much, the FDP and the Linke for gaining a lot of seats in the Bundestag, and even the Grünen, for staying over the 5% threshold.

The only ones that might not have won today, are the German people. Because the result of today will make the forming of a new cabinet very difficult ... if only the leading politicians did not exclude so many options verbally, during the past few weeks already.

For a foreigner like me, the battle during the coming weeks is going to be very enjoyable. But honestly, I don't think Germany can afford much more delay.
