Two months to form a government is nothing. Once they pass 400 or so days and start making a serious effort to aim for the record, then we're talking.

Although possibly an argument could be made that having a functional government is more useful than this particular world record.


The effects of what happens in Belgium versus the effects of what happens in Germany mean something completely different for the EU and for world markets.

Mookie are you having any memory problems? Anonymous2000 has been doing hyperbole for decades! *NM* Roland00 - 21/11/2017 02:59:31 AM 180 Views
His subject line was a particularly egregious example. *NM* damookster - 21/11/2017 03:11:14 AM 179 Views
Egregious is a funny word both to say and to spell *NM* Roland00 - 21/11/2017 03:35:39 AM 194 Views
But not as well as Cannolli. He needs to step up his game. *NM* The Shrike - 21/11/2017 01:24:24 PM 143 Views

Do you know who else wanted to restore order in Germany? *NM* aerocontrols - 21/11/2017 02:29:34 PM 217 Views

Oh please. Call me when they pass one year without a coalition, and we'll talk. Legolas - 21/11/2017 05:47:36 PM 441 Views

Maybe it's not Lindner who needs to "get over it"? Maybe it's Merkel? Tom - 21/11/2017 08:44:37 PM 303 Views
Wait, so your idea is to have new elections without Merkel in which the Union will greatly improve? Legolas - 21/11/2017 11:12:49 PM 327 Views
The only reason the AfD won 94 seats is because of Merkel Tom - 22/11/2017 06:02:31 AM 535 Views
But are we talking what might have been here, or predictions for new elections? Legolas - 22/11/2017 06:46:39 PM 292 Views
Bringing AfD into the government is another option Tom - 22/11/2017 06:57:37 PM 600 Views

They eat french fries with mayonnaise *NM* damookster - 21/11/2017 08:45:58 PM 165 Views
No, see, the puking face is because you don't know real mayonnaise. Legolas - 21/11/2017 10:50:29 PM 310 Views
I have made my own mayonnaise from scratch. damookster - 22/11/2017 03:42:19 AM 243 Views
So delicious. The Shrike - 22/11/2017 01:04:07 AM 477 Views
That is actually an excellent question. *NM* Legolas - 21/11/2017 10:48:38 PM 163 Views
I don't think so. The coalition was very uncertain from the start. Tom - 21/11/2017 08:37:20 PM 326 Views
