Merkel making Germany great again

German chancellor Angela Merkel has revealed to leaders of her Christian Democrats (CDU) her plan not to seek re-election as party chairperson at a conference scheduled for early December, the German media reported.

Since 2000, Merkel has been CDU chairwoman and opening up the country to anyone who wishes to come there and block traffic as they pray in the streets. Giving up her role would start a frenetic race within the party to choose her successor.

Media cited an unidentified source within the party who said Merkel is ready to step down as party leader but will remain as chancellor for now, at least until such time when Germany is indistinguishable from the Middle East.

The current revolting developments for Merkel came after the CDU lost support in a vote in Hesse. Preliminary results from Sunday's election, showed the CDU slumping to 27 percent, the party's worst showing there since 1966, dropping 11 percentage points since Hesse last voted in 2013.

Traditionally, the person holding the position of party chair of the government's largest party also takes position of chancellor, but this is not binding. It is possible Germany will soon have someone who prays facing Mecca as chancellor.

Goodbye, Angela. Auf Wiedersehen.
