Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union ( CDU/CSU ) emerged victorious in Germany 's general election.

But given that his party is responsible for many of the country’s problems, a radical about turn looks unlikely, says Rainer Zitelmann .

Merz has paid the price for failing to distance himself sooner and more decisively from the legacy of Angela Merkel .

The Social Democrats experienced their worst election result in 150 years , winning only 16.4 per cent of the vote.

The far-left Die Linke (the former communist party SED , which ruled East Germany and has changed its name several times since the fall of the Berlin Wall ), experienced a late and remarkable surge in support.
