    Lively intense even at daggers drawn which campaigns for with many state leaders compares, the German election appears “quiet”. In being appointed premier Merkel the competitor by far will throw in the poll of election long time ago in after death, her reappointment already does not have the suspense.

    Although in the campaign playbill has the word: Germany to transition’s time, but the German “transition”, still had not chosen Merkel. Before then, the people had not thought that Merkel has the strong attraction. Is as though a familiar Merkel the biography author saying that “Merkel and Pama are different, she does not have many charm”; In addition, its support level will start to fall looking from Merkel rule six months later largely, she also not necessarily has many “iron rod bean noodles”. But held the post of experience of the Chancellor of Germany from it, she already had may approve to be possible the place of ball, like to the reform of German financial system should be successful; When has quite loses the square inch, if the retirement age from 65 years old will retard to 67 years old and so on a series of social reform has caused the censure. But from being as for the whole her premier profession is also well organized. So all sorts by no means completely advantageous factor, the human did not inquire into: Why does the German still choose her?

    Because perhaps Germany is Germany, this is the state which a advocation rationality does not like suddenly changes. Must know that stops here including public transportation stands precisely arrives the minute, the populace from the psychology to the daily life, has been used to it “along a prescribed path”. It is not necessarily true that but Merkel the rule has many great merits for several years, has not actually seen the big mistake, the German has been used to this female premier. Before has not seen other campaigners to demonstrate very obvious superiority, the German is not willing to change rashly. It can be said that match “insufficient”, from another angle achievement Merkel’s reappointment.

    “Luck” is also a factor. For example, financial crisis said in Merkel, it may be said that “in danger organic”. At global financial crisis “compound nest”, the German government because of its for many years in the economic policy and economic type like Britain and other countries such to the US “blindly following suit”, this has not caused loss of the German government, enterprise and populace not to calculate that is too big. But the German government courageously adopts some wise measures, awarded marks for it. But in financial crisis has not passed, when economic policy’s continuity also becomes the election must consider a factor. Merkel then becomes maintains this kind “continuity” a representative personage.

    In addition, Merkel’s scholar image concurrently the passing experience which is good at making a decision, is scored points it. She once was a physics professor, actually unified before East and West Germany does not hate to leave the stable to give up the teachership choosing has taken part in government; Hereafter when Merkel joins Alliance Party and with is appointed premier Kohl to become friends with, has promoted its political popularity rapidly; But after Kohl is involved in illegal making cash contributions scandal, Merkel is rapid “severing a friendship”, has preserved own political prospects. Is such one “iron lady”, occasionally also the convention reveals the tender feeling and feminine one side. So tamper force with mercy strategy, from may strive for the different sex and age level supporter.

    Therefore, whom many Germans and does not need to pay attention to be elected in this election, what they cared: Merkel is at which party does Alliance Party with form an alliance? Also may see a Merkel’s superiority from this: She has with German almost any another political party formed an alliance the possibility.
