For the first time since World War II, Germany’s two traditional political locomotives are set to garner less than half the national vote. The ruling centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), expecting to tumble out of a four-year term in office – their shortest since the war – are polling at an embarrassing 16 percent, a post-war low. The once-dominant, centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), in power for 51 of the past 75 years, is in the…
