The collapse of Germany’s three-party ruling coalition has triggered a snap election that is to take place in February 2025.
The German government collapsed after the chancellor, Olaf Scholz, unexpectedly sacked his finance minister, Christian Lindner, during a row over the 2025 budget, plunging Europe’s largest economy into political disarray, after months of bitter infighting that has contributed to the administration’s growing unpopularity amid a stagnating German economy.
We’re keen to hear how people feel about the collapse of the coalition government and the political situation in Germany generally, and which issues may decide their vote in the upcoming general election.
