Election Day in Germany today

[lizbud]

We'll have a conservative- liberal government for the next 4 years.

That term sounds like a oxymoron here. How many political parties
do you have in Germany?

That term sounds like a oxymoron here. How many political parties
do you have in Germany?

There are 5 parties in our parliament right now:
CDU/CSU (Christian Democrats, conservative)
SPD (Social Democrats)
FDP (Free Democrats)
Die Linke (left-wing party)
Die Grünen (Green party)

Angela Merkel's party is CDU, and they are in coalition with the FDP now.
