Failed German chancellor Angela Merkel will not seek re-election. That’s great news for Germany, though she will still be around until 2021 (the next German election). Merkel has let in an estimate 1 million “refugees” from third world countries into Germany. Under Merkel, Germany has seen a spike in “no go zones.”

After dominating European politics for well over a decade, Angela Merkel has said her fourth term as Germany’s chancellor will be her last.
Speaking after disastrous regional elections in Hesse and Bavaria for her Christian Democrats and its Bavaria-only sister party, Merkel on Monday said she saw the results as a “clear signal that things can’t go on as they are”.
She said she would not be standing as party leader at the CDU conference in December nor seek another term as chancellor at Germany’s next federal elections, due in 2021, adding that she would withdraw completely from politics after that date.
She also stated she would also not run for chancellor if snap elections were called before 2021.
