2013 is a long, long, long way ahead. And who knows, if the SPD is really as stupid as to pick Steinbrück, and the Greens don't eclipse the SPD and accept the SPD's choice, an eventual Merkel lection defeat won't bring positive change, either.

If the EU really destroys itself from the inside while the centre-left continues to do the same to itself, fascism will have a comeback: sooner or later one of the truly fascist far-right parties (like Jobbik of Hungary or Chryssi Avgi of Greece) will win an election.
