Challenges
Recent elections in Germany have changed the make-up of the Bundestag (CNN) and Angela Merkel's CDU party is searching for new partners to form a governing coalition (Washington Post, Reuters, Reuters). If no governing coalition is formed and a new election is held, the question will close as "None of the above."
