Most English know absolutely nothing about politics in the rest of
Europe. I doubt most people in England could name the major political
parties in Germany, let alone discuss the personalities in them.
Matthew Huntbach
What happened the last time the CDU put forward a candidate? Didn't
they get completely and utterly humiliated?
That said it was clear the right would never be convinced by Merkel,
who had good appeal to the centre and centre-left and could possibly
have won, but only at the price of fracturing the coalition on the
right.
