Indeed. This adds another problem that needs to be solved in relatively short time - the constitution says a new pres has to be found in max. 30 days.

However, the biggest difficulty for the coalition in the coming days/weeks will be to present a new budget to adress debt problems while not saving the economy to death. Most commentators here think the coalition could fall over this if they don't find a solution that both sides can live with.

Surely it is in the mutual interests of both parties to come to an agreement though given the recent polls, especially the FDP who seem to have lost all their support?

Looking at this Angus Reid poll it looks like there will be a struggle for any coalition to form after the next election... any chance of the CDU forming any coalition or will the SDP have the best chance with the Left and the Greens?

I'm not sure if that's a reflective poll however...

Sorry for the questions, but I'm not fluent in German so it's hard for me to get a good understanding of what's going on in a very interesting political arena.
