Berlin - The Bundestag election has been decided!
The SPD has saved its lead from the polls across the finish line and, according to the preliminary result, is now the strongest force in the federal government with 25.7 percent.
But does Olaf Scholz * manage to forge a coalition with the Greens (14.8 percent) and FDP (11.5 percent)?
Or will Armin Laschet * still get a chance despite historical union losses (24.1 percent)?
The Düsseldorf political scientist Stefan Marschall reckons that the coalition negotiations could drag on until Christmas.
He believes that the parties will clarify by Christmas, as he tells the German press agency.
It is questionable whether there will then be a new Federal Chancellor.

Federal election 2021: Scholz and Laschet want clarity by Christmas
Both Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet and SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz had emphasized on election evening that they wanted to be ready before Christmas. "I think it would be absurd to give an exact date, but it has to be that I, that we will do everything to ensure that we are finished before Christmas, a little before would also be good," said Scholz in the " Berliner Runde ”from ARD and ZDF. The CDU chairman, Armin Laschet, also stated with a view to Germany's chairmanship in the group of G7 countries in the coming year that the new government must “come into office very soon”.
Political scientist Marschall expects "very complicated" coalition negotiations.

“Between the small but also between large and small.
There is no official script for such a situation. ”The Greens * and FDP * have also made it clear that they don't just want to be asked by the big parties.

Union?
Traffic light?
Or is it Jamaica?
In negotiations in the direction of a traffic light coalition made up of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP, the FDP will attach great importance to ensuring that it is adequately taken into account in the area of tax policy.
"For the FDP, tax increases or a wealth tax are certainly beyond the red line." On the other hand, negotiations in the direction of the Jamaica coalition of the Union, FDP and the Greens would have to mean "very far-reaching measures in the area of climate policy".
