They were for 16 years under Merkel. They weren't in the last 3 years. The social Democrats are In government since 1998 (with a 4 year break) and will 99% be in the next government. Be basically will get what we had under Merkel. Wind of Change. Not.

Thank you. I appreciate that breakdown.
Too bad. I was hoping Germany would break out of the funk it’s been in forever.
The difference is that the AFD is stronger (20 %, and sometimes over 50% in eastern Germany) and the liberal party who was in the last government isn't in the parliament anymore. Also the left made it to 8%, starting from 2% in November.
