Damaged by last year’s election. Playing for time. Grappling with revolts – and resignation threats. We refer, of course, to Merkel.

Henry Newman: The unified reaction to the Skripal affair suggests talk of Britain’s ‘isolation’ was premature

To listen to some commentators a few weeks ago, you’d have thought it was only EU membership – not shared interests and values – that brings allies together.

Daniel Hannan: Being good at governing is no guarantee of re-election – just ask Harper and Key

Voters habitually opt for parties of the Right when times are tough, only to ditch them for the Left once there’s money to spare. But now populists seek to break the cycle.

A new grand coalition in Germany may be a boon for AfD

If both of the main parties remain locked together in an unpopular pact, it creates more space in which new challengers can grow.

The destruction of German conservatism by Merkel and Kohl

Conventional German politics is still paralysed because being German is still almost impossibly difficult, and being European is pretty difficult, too.

Garvan Walshe: Macron’s victory means that May’s Brexit strategy must change fast

Iain Duncan Smith: Britain last June. America last month. Now Italy. Next, Germany? France? Holland? Revolt against the elites is sweeping the West.

Are we seeing a convulsion as great as 1968 – or even 1848?

By Iain Duncan Smith | 6 December 2016
