Any Idea now what they are supposed to do next? Choose up sides again and try to get thirty five votes for someone?

Boy, the German definition of a "thriller" is a little weak...

Couldn't a public vote be forced to settle it once and for all, like in the Canadian House of Commons???

It may force the "undecided" to take sides and either elect a Prime Minister or elect a new Parliament all over again...

Ahh, the beauty of parliamentary democracy!!!

If one does not march the party line he's a traitor?
Obviously there are those that see a scam (with the danish party) when there is one .
Besides looking and continuing into a bleak and bleaker future with these Democrat's 12.6% unemployment quite possibly called for a change by those saying:
Change the Helmsman, pardon Helmswoman, enough is enough.

Simonis, clearly numbed and distraught, packed her oversized handbag and left.

Her parting shot was, "I've been stabbed in the back." This is an old refrain in German politics. The back-stab was claimed by Hitler and others to have caused Germany's loss in WWI.

But, she still gets to keep the cash, right?

Not to worry, there will be some big job for her among the tens of thousands of new bureucrat positions created under the European Consitution and, the best part, not one of them will be answerable to voters.
