Her open door policy for Syrian "Refugees" (Because seriously, when is the majority of a immigrant group fleeing from war military aged men?) was irresponsible and poorly thought out. No way in hell her party survives next election cycle. They're done.
Didn't see this until just now. First, let me say that Merkel is the Chancellor of Germany, she doesn't run Europe. As for her party surviving? The CDU/CSU coalition is going to lose some power in the Bundestag and Bundesrat, but not a lot. Especially since last I heard SPD was looking at linking arms with them. Merkel may no longer be Chancellor, but her party will still reign. The German people are also becoming more and more wary of the AfD because they have been pulling some really stupid shit lately.
All in all, there will some change in Germany, but not a whole lot.
