I’ll Issue Putin an Ultimatum—End the War In 24 Hours or I’ll Supply Ukraine With Taurus Missiles, Says German Chancellor Candidate Merz

Let's see how big on words he is once he's out of opposition. Either way his leadership comes at the cost of him being a 90s neo libertarian with his own private plane. Other than that he is conservative through and through.

So (I) expect no big investments into health care, education, green technology or public transport but more in tax cuts for the wealthy and investments into "new and revolutionary technologies that will solve all our problems for sure bro" and individual transport infrastructure (which tbh would actually be needed since the German infrastructure is in a pretty bad state with a lot of highway bridges being at the end of their life cycle). And for all the problems we just blame migrants and strengthen right wing populist positions.

Soo yeah, not really happy with him, not really happy with anyone else atm.
