“It is better not to govern than to govern badly.” - what an incredibly refreshing and honest approach. No 1bn pound bribes, no power-at-any-cost and no sneaky manouvers driven by self-serving desires. Days like today give me hope about politics.
So, my prediction is a re-election, CDU and a rebooted SDP coalition to govern and more of the good times we had for the past 12 years. Oh, and Germany to win the World Cup.
How did I do? 6/10?

either that or the AfD sweep to power on a wave of something unpleasant?

So, it’s NOTHING to do with the fact the they couldn’t agree nothing. If this was the UK, you’d be saying how pathetic it is that they can’t sort out a coalition, but when it’s in Germany it’s suddenly inspiring (because it suits you to portray there as the Land Of Milk And Honey and the UK as a basket-case).
A bit more humility and acceptance that (as per usual
), your understanding of events is wrong would maybe be sensible.

This is the German establishments fear. They were close to be the second party last-time round and the last thing the CSU/CDU/SDP want is AfD as the official opposition.
Strong And Stable - No. Weak And Wobbling is more apt,

So it’s bad for Brexit if Germany has strong Government and its bad for Brexit it Germany has weak Government. Like a few others on here you continue to sound like the propaganda section of the Remain campaign.

Yeah, let’s see the panic of the EU lovers when they see what happens when the Italians need to go back and get the markets buying their debt. With the ECB reducing QE (quote an odd activity for such a booming economic area surely), and Italy has a lot of debt which matures (and hence needs to be rolled over) plus funding the of-coming fiscal deficit.
But no, it’s the UK which is screwed. I do wonder a the political/economic understanding of many who post on these threads.

Merkel was actually a useful ally for TB, though you won't read that in any of the xenophobic end of the media.
It just makes our Brexit timerable harder and harder. Any MPs on the fence with regard to enshrining the Brexit date into law would do be wise to think again what is best for the country.

Everything is bad news for Brexit and Britain as far as you're concerned, so I'm not exactly bothered.

I don’t understand your logic. Sounds like a collection of unsubstantiated statements and I am struggling to use them to come to your conclusion.

Yes I forgot they need trade talks to start more than we do
How exactly does Merkel being an ally of TM manifest itself, which part of Brexit was Merkel going to endorse that makes her this supposed ally, as I cannot recall you admitting any part of Brexit where Merkel might agree to.
I wouldnt worry about UK's Brexit that's a done deal, you seem to be overlooking the weakening or even the crumbling of your beloved project over on the continent.

Yeah they're doing terribly at the moment, while we power ahead.
