Germans have had enough of their useless leaders

German chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the dissolution of his unpopular coalition government on Wednesday evening .

The collapse of the coalition does not mean that new elections are around the corner.

The coalition had been riddled with infighting and personal squabbling for a while.

All three parties have haemorrhaged public support since forming a coalition after the 2021 federal election.

Whether it has now really changed is up for debate. Either way, the slow-motion collapse of the coalition government and the inevitability of new elections provide the German people with a vital opportunity. An opportunity to demand solutions to the challenges their nation faces. An opportunity to finally make their voice heard. Sabine Beppler-Spahl is spiked’s Germany correspondent. Picture by: Getty.
