The bookie favourite is Anegla Merkel heading a grand coalition

While Germany awaits confirmation of which parties will form their next government, Paddy Power have introduced two markets on what will happen next in Berlin. It has made a grand coalition the favourite with a price of just 1/2 that the CDU/CSU & SPD parties will rule together. The second favourite coalition grouping, at 2/1/ is an alliance between SPD, Green & FDP.

On who the next Chancellor will be the bookmaker has Angela Merkel at 1/3 with Gerhard Schroeder at 2/1. For anybody else to get it the price is 14/1.

As soon as we are able to link to these markets from the site we will do so.
