Now that the German elections have ended in a draw, and some form of Grand Coalition of the rival Socialdemocrats of Schroeder and Christian-Democrats of Merkel needs to be forged, Schroeder is setting his cards on an 'Israeli solution'. Just like earlier in Israel, the idea here is, the Chancellorship should be rotated: the first two - ok, one and a half - years Schroeder, then Merkel. Merkel's Christian-Democrats are not biting, though.
