Which candidate will become chancellor?? Is it the present one from SDP or the female one from CDU??? I think that SDP will win as you can see that they want to create jobs for German in a serious way but they failed to comply iy stated by the CDU. But you see when Germany is in SDP hands the situation is still ok and not dependent on others like USA which they criticise them attacking Iraq and sided with France who oppose it too. But if under CDU hands they will be closer to British and not France and Germany would become pro-USA like the British???? But if they merged together I forsee that they would be greater problems in the future and not really co-operating with each other. But both of their parties policies are the same but maybe people/citizens is choosing their ideology????
