If you live in Germany, we want your views ahead of the federal election later this month, in which Angela Merkel seeks re-election as chancellor

All three of Merkel’s terms in office since 2005 have been coalition governments: two “grand coalitions” with the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) and one with the pro-business FDP.



It has been a quiet lead up to the election, with Merkel doing her best to maintain a business-as-usual, low-key approach. But after unexpected results in French and British elections, and with an unprecedented six parties currently polling enough to allow them seats in the Bundestag, the exact make-up of Germany’s next government is anyone’s guess.
