They couldn't make it another 9 months due to chaos. Germany's president dissolves parliament, sets national election for Feb. 23 | AP News
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Friday ordered parliament dissolved and set new elections for Feb. 23 in the wake of the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition, saying it was the only way to give the country a stable government capable of tackling its problems.
Scholz lost a confidence vote on Dec. 16 and leads a minority government after his unpopular and notoriously rancorous three-party coalition collapsed on Nov. 6
An election would have been held in September if the government didn't collapse.
Key issues include immigration, how to get the sluggish economy going, and how best to aid Ukraine in its struggle against Russia.
No one on the Left wants an election so close to the Christmas market attacks. AfD is polling fairly strong, which makes the establishment crazy.
And the way to get Germany's economy going is to bring back cheap ways to make electricity. Wind isn't working out as planned. But the Left in Germany will never allow that.
