Good News In Europe
Merkel gets a majority. Now she can actually do something. Perhaps Europe is finally waking up.
"Sunday's election results follow a trend in which Socialist parties across Europe have seen sharp declines in their popularity."[---]
"Moreover, and in stark contrast to Spain in March 2004, German voters were not intimidated by Islamist terrorists. Just one week before the election, al-Qaeda threatened the German electorate by demanding an end to Germany’s military mission in Afghanistan."

Hi Louise!
Well, personally I suspect that actually, the islamist threat may have done its bit to tilt the balance in favor of Merkel.
Even so, it's z confirmation of some kind of drift to the right in Europe. Will it be enough? Remains to be seen.
Bye, have a nice weekend!

Thanks, Mike. I'm hoping that is what the shift to the right means, too. There is hope for Europe after all.
