It seems that the economically liberal but socially conservative Free Democrat Party is banking on fresh elections in Germany to boost its representation in the Bundestag. How else to explain its decision to break off coalition talks with chancellor Merkel? The German electorate will not be happy at this blow to stable government, the worst since the federal republic was set up. The FDP has presumably calculated that anti-immigration feeling has increased since September's general election and that the CDU/CSU will lose more seats because of this.
