Germany’s general election appears likely to produce a repeat of the current government coalition of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and the Free Democrats, with opinion polls suggesting that a grand coalition between the CDU and the Social Democrats is less likely. In the former case, current German policies toward the eurozone crisis will not change, despite austerity fatigue in the eurozone’s periphery and bailout fatigue in its core.
其他发达国家也存在大量不确定性。德国大选可能再次选出总理默克尔的基督教民主联盟（CDU）和自由民主党的执政联盟，民调显示CDU和社会民主党组成大联盟的可能性较低。如果出现前者，德国对欧元区危机的当前政策就不会改变，尽管欧元区外围国对紧缩已经疲劳，而核心国对援助也已经疲劳。
