    This means the German government is done for.

    This is good because Lidner has been blocking and destroying it from the inside for the past three years, but also bad, because now there is practically no chance for a progressive or at least non reactionary government to form after new elections.

    This step would have been right 2,5 years ago.

      Side news on lemmy, sadly.

      But nonetheless, a question: what happens next? This means snap elections, yeah?
