German Chancellor Angela Merkel wins second term

Angela Merkel (pictured) became Chancellor of Germany in 2005 by defeating Gerhard Schröder.

With Merkel’s re-election, Germany becomes even more conservative.

A report at the link below calls it:

‘A bitter defeat’ for the top left-wing party, which had worst results since WWII.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel won a second term on Sunday, along with the center-right majority that eluded her four years ago — nudging Europe's biggest economic power to the right as it claws its way out of a deep recession.
